DIO building

The Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology (DIO) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization in Grosse Pointe Park, MI, devoted to matters pertaining to vision and the eye.

The DIO was founded in 1972 by business people and local ophthalmologists to provide the support and tools necessary to enhance independence for the visually impaired and blind; develop career opportunities in the allied health field that will provide better trained, caring ophthalmic technicians; and help provide answers to baffling problems related to the eye and vision through research.

Currently the DIO provides support services for the visually impaired through support groups. (See Visually Impaired Services)  The Institute’s research efforts center on two international research congresses The Eye and The Chip and The Eye and The Auto.  (See Research:  The Eye and The Auto or Research:  The Eye and The Chip)
