With leading-edge technology and highly experienced, physicians, optometrists, and eye doctors in Rochester, MI, the team at Michigan Eye Institute can help you achieve your best visual outcome. When you think eyes, think Michigan Eye!
Comprehensive Eye Care
Maintain your clearest vision and optimal eye health by coming in for your annual general eye exam. You can opt for an Optomap check during this exam to look out for early signs of eye disease. After your exam, you can find corrective lenses that suit you right at MEI.
Cataract Treatment
One in every two people over the age of 60 has cataracts, where the lens of your eye becomes cloudy. The experienced eye surgeons at MEI provide customizable procedures with several artificial lens (IOL) options for the sharpest vision possible.
Laser Assisted
Laser-assisted cataract surgery uses laser technology to increase precision and accuracy and minimize risks during the procedure.
Dropless
Dropless cataract surgery is an alternative to traditional cataract surgery that offers an easy recovery—you don’t have to worry about administering eye drops after this procedure.
LASIK Eye Surgery
If you’re tired of relying on glasses and contacts, LASIK may be a great choice for you. MEI offers modern procedures with quick recovery times. Schedule a free consultation with our ophthalmologists in Rochester to see if LASIK is right for you.


Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness among Americans. This disease causes fluid buildup and pressure in the eye that eventually damages your retina and optic nerve. Our glaucoma specialists can monitor and treat this condition with medication as well as drainage treatment.
Retinal Treatment
Your retina is a tissue layer in the back of your eye that receives incoming light, converts it into a neural signal, and transmits it to the optic nerve for visual processing. To keep this part of your eye healthy, we can perform a proactive retinal screening during your next eye exam to rule out issues like retinopathy or macular degeneration.
Oculoplastic Surgery
The tissues and facial features around your eyes can affect your vision. If problems like excess eyelid skin or drooping eyelids are worsening your vision, our certified oculoplastic surgeons can perform reconstructive surgery to improve your eyesight and related facial conditions.
Optical Services
Once you get your prescription, you need corrective lenses that are customized to you. Our optometrists can help fit you for the right glasses and contact lenses, including designer frames and sunglasses.
Let’s See What Our Patients Have To Say
There is a lot of handicap parking on the side of the building and they treat customers with care. The person who asked questions about my eyes and asked other questions was Amanda. She was extremely nice to both my wife and I which made the experience go by quicker to me. I was taken to the Drs office and was seen by Dr Culven. I was nervous at first, always am when it comes to my eyes, but he was extremely courteous, knowledgeable and helpful.
He did a diabetes test on my eyes with bright light for a while. Since I have sensory processing disorder, it hurt. He understood and was patient with me so I could have a break. I wish they would have given me some sort of protection for my eyes when I left though. It was an extremely bright day and I had one eye closed with having to squint from the open eye to drive home. It’s something I’m used to with my disorder, but I just wanted to make sure Michigan Eye Institute was aware of this for anyone in the future.
The dr made me aware that if I chose not to have bifocals that I would have to take my glasses off to read. I was aware and he was really great about not pushing this matter like multiple eye places have in the past. After I got my prescription and glasses, they were so different, I can now read better with them on. Thank you MEI!!!
I also saw Dr Coulter as did my wife. She was a wonderful Dr and listened to the issues I was concerned with and double checked my prescription.
Overall this was the best experience I’ve ever had at a Dr of any kind and especially an eye Dr. The Drs changed my life with how much better I can see now. I can’t recommend MEI enough.
I also wanted to add that I brought my mother-in-law here years ago for Lasik Surgery and she had just as a fantastic of an experience. In fact she was the person who recommended MEI to my wife and I.
