FOR REFERRING PHYSICIANS

Referring Physicians

A trusted specialty partner for your patients with keratoconus, irregular corneas, post-surgical eyes, and complex contact lens needs — across Metro Detroit.

Why Refer to Michigan Contact Lens?

Your patients deserve more than “there's nothing more we can do.” We specialize in the complex, hard-to-fit cases that general optometry and ophthalmology refer out — keratoconus, irregular corneas, post-surgical and post-transplant eyes, and high or unusual prescriptions that standard lenses cannot correct.

Led by Dr. Shira Kresch, OD, MS, FAAO — trained at Columbia University and the Kresge Eye Institute — our practice brings academic-level expertise to every fitting. We use advanced corneal mapping and Eaglet Eye profilometry to design custom scleral and specialty lenses with a precision most practices are not equipped for.

We diagnose the problem, design the solution, send you a full report, and return your patient to you for their primary eye care. Your patient stays yours — we co-manage, we do not poach.

Conditions We Commonly Co-Manage

The Patients Who Benefit Most

Consider referring any patient who:

  • Has been told they “have to live with” blurry or unstable vision
  • Cannot achieve clear vision in glasses or soft lenses due to corneal irregularity
  • Has keratoconus that is progressing or difficult to fit
  • Had a corneal transplant, RK, LASIK, or other surgery leaving irregular astigmatism
  • Has chronic dry eye or ocular surface disease limiting contact lens wear
  • Needs a prosthetic or cosmetic lens for a disfigured or light-sensitive eye
  • Is a child who would benefit from myopia control
