Eye Care

DMC partner Kresge Eye Institute's clinical ophthalmologists, who are also Wayne State University School of Medicine faculty members, treat more than 90,000 patients annually and perform nearly 4,000 surgical procedures. Patients come from throughout the metropolitan Detroit area and the Midwest for highly specialized care in areas such as glaucoma and filtering surgery, cataract and lens implant surgery, corneal transplantation and refractive surgery, neuro-ophthalmologic, orbital diseases and plastic surgery, retinal disease and vitreous surgery, and diabetic eye care.

Just a generation ago, patients diagnosed with an eye disease, disorder or injury often faced limited vision or blindness. Today, through the singularly human ability to conceptualize - to take science and technology to unprecedented levels - many of these eye problems are effectively and efficiently treated. Since 1948, the Kresge Eye Institute has played a major role in these extraordinary developments through a dedication to excellence in patient care, eye research and medical education.

Kresge Eye Institute is considered one of the nations leading medical centers for the preservation of sight and has an international reputation for its pioneering eye research program, basic science studies and as a major referral center for the treatment of difficult vision problems. A part of Wayne State University since 1966, the Institute is an integral part of the University's School of Medicine, and administers and directs all ophthalmological services for Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center.

DMC Harper University Hospital is ranked among the best in Southeast Michigan in Ophthalmology by U.S.News and World Report.

Kresge Eye Institute's specialists treat and perform surgery on thousands of patients annually. Yet, despite the high volume, we strive to make the Institute a friendly, comfortable place where each patient is a priority. In keeping with this goal, we are continually looking at ways to improve availability of patient care services to the people of the City of Detroit and its adjoining suburbs.
