Our goal is to enhance the safety of Grand Blanc Eyes.
At all times patients must comply with any existing CDC’s and/or Governor’s applicable executive order for facemasks. Our medical office team will wear masks due to close facial interaction and limited social distancing in exam rooms.
Please plan to come in by yourself to protect other patients, unless a caregiver is needed.
Thank you for understanding and with sincere regards,
– the Grand Blanc Eyes Team

Previous update information posted on 05/15/2020 12:10pm
Dear Grand Blanc Eyes PLLC patients,
An update to our current situation:
In March, Michigan’s Governor Whitmer declared a state of emergency as the state’s first positive cases of COVID-19 were identified. Our practice has been closed since March 23, 2020 given in response to executive order 2020-21, ordering all people in Michigan to stay home and stay safe. As of writing, the current executive order no. 2020-42 declaration places Michigan in a stay-at-home mandate extended to May 28, 2020.
For the last several weeks, Grand Blanc Eyes, PLLC has been preparing the office for a new environment when we return within our healthcare industry. We have taken action to adapt to these new processes and keep our patients and team safe. We currently plan to re-open safely with a very limited schedule, first priority to emergencies to avoid patient hospital visits, exam preference weight to diabetic retinopathy/macular degeneration/ocular cancer/glaucoma examinations, and last, procedures in place to eliminate the risk of disease spread. Our staff has held several meetings to review procedures and topics such as: face shields, acrylic front desk shields, provided N95 droplet masks and gloves, scrubs, Genesee county heath forms, visits by appointment only, screening and taking temperatures, socially distancing patients, UV disinfection policy, and hand sanitizer policy.
Please continue to stay safe practicing temporary separation, quarantine, and social distancing. All are encouraged to follow the recommendations from MDHHS and the CDC to protect themselves and slow the spread of COVID-19. Please feel free to ask Dr. Ann Walker or Dr. Agnone any questions.
We please ask that our patients also do everything possible to keep us all safe during these times.
To protect everyone, please take a moment to review the PDF link above before your visit within our office.
We appreciate all of your patience.
with sincere Regards,
– Ann A. Walker, OD and Matthew J. Agnone, OD
