Testimonials
Mary, 78 - East Side Detroit
I hadn't had my eyes checked in three years because I can't drive anymore and my daughter works full-time. When ECFD came to my home, they changed everything. The doctor was so patient, explaining each test, and they even helped me pick out new frames that arrived right at my door. Now I can read my grandchildren's letters again and see their photos clearly. It's given me back a piece of my independence that I thought was gone forever.
J. Williams, 83 - Grandmont-Rosedale
Living with diabetes, I knew I needed regular eye check-ups, but getting to appointments became impossible after my stroke last year. Eye Care For Detroit arranged everything – they came to my house with all their equipment and even coordinated with my primary care doctor.
Rosa, 71 - Southwest Detroit
After my hip replacement, even getting to the grocery store was a challenge. My vision was getting worse, but I kept putting off getting new glasses because the thought of figuring out transportation and navigating a doctor's office with my walker was overwhelming. ECFD made it so simple – they came right to my living room!
