When you visit the 1-800-Dry-Eyes Vision Institute, you’re not seeing a general eye doctor who treats dry eye on the side. You’re being treated by Dr. Shira Kresch — a fellowship-trained optometrist who has spent her career at some of the most prestigious eye care institutions in the country, and who now dedicates her practice to solving the dry eye and specialty lens cases that other doctors can’t.
Dr. Kresch’s path to becoming one of Michigan’s leading dry eye and specialty lens practitioners was built on a foundation of rigorous academic training and hands-on clinical experience at institutions most eye doctors never set foot in.
Dr. Kresch’s practice is built around the cases that require more than a standard eye exam and a prescription for artificial tears. If you’ve been told “you just have dry eye” without a real explanation or treatment plan, this is where you come to get answers.
Visit Dr. Kresch for expert treatment of dry eyes. Our eye doctor is conveniently located in the Metro Detroit area.
Dr. Kresch doesn’t run a cookie-cutter practice, and she doesn’t rush through appointments. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation designed around their specific concerns, lifestyle, and health history. Whether she’s mapping your cornea for a custom scleral lens, analyzing your Meibomian glands for signs of dysfunction, or testing your tear film with advanced diagnostics, she takes the time to do it right — and to explain every step so you understand exactly what’s happening with your eyes and why.
That education-first approach isn’t just a tagline. Dr. Kresch has built her career around making complex eye conditions understandable. At Columbia, she developed patient education resources and an interactive website to help patients better understand their conditions. At 1-800-Dry-Eyes, that same philosophy drives every visit: you’ll leave not only with a treatment plan, but with a real understanding of your diagnosis and the tools to manage your condition for the long term.
“I always tell my kids, ‘I helped people see today!’ when I come home from work. My dad told me to make sure your job is always something you love to do and you’ll never work a day in your life.” — Dr. Shira Kresch
