Providing care in Lansing to those who would otherwise go without.

Care Free Optometry

Since its opening in 2008, Care Free’s Optometry Clinic has provided more than 1,000 eye exams annually.

For three years prior to the clinic’s launch, local optometrists Leonard Silverman, OD, and Mitchell Dobrzelewski, OD, voluntarily saw Care Free patients who needed free eye care in their own private practices.

The friends continued to see an increase in patient referrals from the medical clinic and set out to open a clinic under Care Free. Timing being everything, Pablo Quiroga, MD, donated his medical office to Care Free upon retirement and the Optometry Clinic opened June 4, 2008 in the donated space. The Optometry Clinic is home to three well-furnished exam rooms and two diagnostic rooms with modern technology and a comfortable atmosphere. Everyone from infants to the elderly is seen with the same Care Free philosophy of quality, compassionate, and affordable care.

"With good vision a person can perform their job better, do better in school or in training programs, get on the right bus, and just enjoy life more.”
