Dr. Steven Lutz & Associates has been an independent practice in Downtown Ann Arbor examining eyes across the Ann Arbor area, now with three residency-trained optometrists and ✓ comprehensive exams performed to date.
Dr. Elias Brandt founded the practice after a hospital residency in ocular disease and still books the first exam of every day. The number the practice is actually organized around isn't a patient count — it's the appointment length: forty unhurried minutes with a doctor, roughly double what a typical chain optical schedules.
We stayed independent on purpose. Every exam includes the same OCT and wide-field retinal imaging used in ophthalmology clinics, reviewed with you on screen in plain language rather than filed into a chart you never see. Kids are roughly half the practice, and our myopia-control program is one of the Ann Arbor area's longer-running ones for children whose prescriptions are climbing faster than expected. Rated 4.5★ across 126 Google reviews, we would still rather spend forty minutes getting it right than book twelve and hope.
