The University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) Detroit Mercy Eye Institute, located at 41555 W. 12 Mile Road in Novi, will open to patients on April 30.
Over the past two years, faculty, staff, and university leadership worked to identify programs and services to meet community needs.
“We appreciate the chance to expand our health care services to this region with this clinic,” says Donald B. Taylor, president of UDM. “I can’t say enough great things about the many people who have contributed to this news today. Thank you for your hard work. And to our future patients, our team of professionals and experts are ready to help you with all of your eye care needs.”
The institute will offer a full range of comprehensive services, including:
- Comprehensive eye exams.
- Pediatric eye exams.
- Contact lens exams including multifocal lenses and contacts for astigmatism.
- Optical services including eyeglasses and contacts.
- Dry eye management.
- Red eye management.
- Cataract evaluations.
- Binocular vision exams.
- Low vision evaluations.
- Lasik co-management.
The institute will offer a full suite of equipment and technology to diagnose, monitor, and treat conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic-related eye conditions.
In addition, it will serve the community by providing affordable care to uninsured and vulnerable populations with limited access to eyecare, which reflects an important foundational component of UDM’s Jesuit and Mercy mission.
“The Detroit Mercy Eye Institute will provide high-quality comprehensive eye care that incorporates advances and innovations in technology to optimize patient care,” says Dr. Robert Onofre, chief clinical officer for the Detroit Mercy Eye Institute. “With the launch of this new institute, we look forward to creating a safe and welcoming environment where all patients will be cared for with compassion and dignity.”
The institute also will carry an assortment of eye glass frames, including Ray Ban, Nike, Gucci, Tiffany, Maui Jim, Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, Shinola, Calvin Klein, and other designer lines.
