👁️ February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month

AMD is a common eye condition that can quietly affect central vision as we age, often without early symptoms. Regular comprehensive eye exams play a critical role in detecting changes early and protecting long-term sight.

If you’re over 50 or have a family history of AMD, now is a great time to prioritize your eye health!

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month👁️

Glaucoma can quietly damage vision long before symptoms appear. Because changes often happen slowly and without pain, many people do not realize their sight is being affected until vision loss has already occurred.

The good news? Regular, comprehensive eye exams can help detect glaucoma early, when treatment is most effective. Protecting your vision starts with routine eye care.

Call our office today to schedule your comprehensive eye exam!

✨ Keeping Holidays Bright & Vision Safe ✨
As you wrap up your gift lists, remember that certain toys (especially those that shoot projectiles) are responsible for roughly 10% of ER eye injuries in children!

The American Academy of Ophthalmology also reminds families to take care when opening champagne this New Year’s. A flying cork can cause serious eye damage!

Small precautions can make a big difference. 💙🎁

🎃 October is Halloween Safety Month! 👁️

To avoid a real-life Halloween horror story, think twice before using costume contact lenses purchased without a prescription. The American Academy of Ophthalmology warns that these unregulated lenses may not be sterile and can cause serious eye infections or even permanent vision loss.

If you’re planning to enhance your costume this Halloween, protect your sight by getting contact lenses through a licensed eye care professional. Your eyes aren’t worth the risk! 👀🧡

Serving Southwest Michigan for Over 30 years!

Great Lakes Eye Care (originally called Great Lakes Eye Clinic) was established in 1987 to provide for the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions and diseases in people, as well as normal preventive eye care for the community of Southwest Michigan. We are a practice consisting of 8 ophthalmologist and 2 optometrists who are augmented by a large, select, and highly trained staff. We deliver personalized care in kind, compassionate ways, always with the patient's best interests in mind. Our up-to-date training and state-of-the-art equipment is matched by modern, comfortable facilities in St. Joseph, Niles, South Haven, and a recently opened Mishawaka office (retinal service only)! Office visits are by appointment only. We make every effort to schedule your appointment as soon as practical. During the business day and after hours, emergencies will receive priority status.

Great Lakes Eye Care provides a large service department for your individual eye-care needs. We are open during our normal hours and are well prepared for most eye-wear repairs or adjustments you might need.

Certain occupational and recreational activities require special options in eye-wear. We can provide expert advice for these special situations. For example, eye-wear for activities like sport shooting, racquetball, or fishing each have different characteristics that are customized in different ways beyond the normal pair of glasses.

We also provide direct shipping of contacts to your home with a valid prescription for existing patients. We make every effort to be a full-service eye care practice.
