About Us

Nobody cares more about your eyes than Dr. Blaize and his staff! Dr. Gerald N. Blaize, Livonia MI optometrist, was born and raised in the Detroit metropolitan area. After receiving a bachelor’s degree at Michigan State University he pursued his Doctorate of Optometry degree at Illinois College of Optometry. In 1991, with his diploma in hand, he came back to Michigan and has been practicing in the tri-county area ever since. In 1999 Dr. Blaize started Bayview Optical in Livonia (near the intersection of 7 Mile and Farmington Road) where he provides the best possible care for each patient.

He has broad expertise with all contacts even for hard to fit patients. He focuses on identifying the individual needs of each patient and choosing what is best for them.

I’ve worn glasses or contacts for the past 35 years. Dr. Blaize is BY FAR the best eye doctor I have visited. Since I became a patient, my eye strain related headaches have gone away. The staff at Bayview Optical does an amazing job and I gladly recommend them to my family and friends.

All staff were very friendly and very helpful. Showed up a bit early for my appointment and was seen right after the current patient completed.

I came here for the first last year and was not the biggest fan. Laurie was great and super friendly. However, two times during my exam, Dr. Blaize ignored me and went straight to my mother to explains things to her instead. My mother was only there to drive me home because I knew I would get my eyes dilated. I don't understand why he did that despite me filling out paperwork that included my name and birthday, showing that I was the patient and that I am an adult. The second time Laurie asked him to come out and explain things to me but she had to nudge him on the arm because he was talking to my mother AGAIN instead of to me. I found that to be quite disrespectful.
