Why We Began
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.
Optical ShopEach day we hear patients ask, "Why should I get my glasses at Great Lakes Eye Care?" Patients often mention that they would like to buy them here, but they make the assumption that the cost would be considerably more expensive.
