General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
During the cryotherapy procedure, a retina surgeon uses intense cold to freeze the location of the retinal tear. Like the laser photocoagulation procedure, the frozen area leaves a tiny scar the helps to weld the retina to the eye wall. The cryotherapy procedure typically causes little to no discomfort. If the retinal detachment or tear has developed to a critical stage this procedure might not be applicable. Make sure to consult your retina specialist regarding the best retina repair options for you.

Pediatric Care
I am a primary care optometrist with an interest in specialty contact lenses and medical optometry.Â I obtained my degree from the Michigan College of OptometryÂ where I gained valuable experience managing ocular disease, low vision, pediatrics, keratoconus, and pre/post op surgical care. I am focused on comprehensive eye care for people of all ages using the latest diagnostic techniques.
Primary Care

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
A complex eye disease, glaucoma is not simply an elevated intraocular pressure. Glaucoma is actually a broad term that is used to characterize a range of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve and potentially cause loss of vision. Glaucoma, therefore, is a disease of the optic nerve, the vital nerve bundle that carries images to your brain so you can see.
Ophthalmology
“Sharing my knowledge with colleagues and students is an important benefit of being an active participant in the ophthalmology community. I am proud to be a faculty member at Kresge Eye Institute as well as an active member of several ophthalmic organizations. The time I spend teaching and sharing information with my peers is the best way I know to stay on the leading edge of this great profession.”
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people over the age of 60. Commonly referred to as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), it is a condition that results as part of the natural aging process. Degeneration or deterioration of the macula (the very center of the retina) occurs, causing your central vision to become blurry, dark, or distorted. Damage to your central vision can affect your ability to see near and far, and can make some activities – like reading and driving – difficult or impossible.
Laser Eye Surgery
Our doctors always utilize the latest in technology and nowhere is this more important than in LASIK surgery. The VisX Star S4 incorporates wavefront technology to give the most precise outcomes available. The laser will permanently change the shape of the cornea or the outer layer of the eye. The excimer laser generates its power from light in the ultraviolet range. It cannot be visualized by the human eye. Because the laser does not generate any heat, there is no tissue damage as the result of the laser light. As the treatment with the laser proceeds, microscopic layers of tissue, approximately 1/10th the width of a human hair are removed. The laser is programmed to remove precisely the amount of tissue needed to achieve the desired result.
Cataracts
With age comes a lot of change. This is evident in our lives and especially our bodies. You may not be surprised to hear that your eyes are one of the first parts of your body to start changing with age.Â Luckily, most of these unavoidable changes have solutions. This includes cataracts.
Cataract Surgery
“Dr. Balok put a new lens in both my eyes after cataract surgery. I now have excellent vision in both of my eyes and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I would highly recommend him!! Everyone in the office is so nice and professional.”
Eye Exam
Â€œI personally see each patient during each of their visits. Including the pre-op, post-op and surgery. I am the only one that performs the eye exam and all of the tests myself. I do this to insure the most accurate and successful results.Â Our knowledge and experience is dedicated to you. We offer you comprehensive tests using state of the art diagnostic equipment and techniquesâ€

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy is a condition caused by diabetes where high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels throughout the body, including the fine vessels of the retina. There are two types; Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR).
