DR. PHILLIP 
RAZNIK, 97, of 
West Bloomfield, 
died June 8, 2023. 
Dr. Raznik was 
among the found-
ers of optometric low vision 
services in Michigan. He was 
a founder and early chair of 
the Michigan Optometric 
Association, Low Vision 
Committee. 
After he proudly served 
in the U.S. Army Air Corps, 
he graduated from Northern 
Illinois College of Optometry, 
1948, on the GI Bill. He pro-
vided clinical services from 
1950-2013, in private prac-
tice, becoming Low Vision 
Associates PC by 1974. 
Dr. Raznik and a group 

of dedicated colleagues 
established the nonprofit 
Optometric Institute and 
Clinic of Detroit in 1967, 
enhancing access to the new 
field of vision rehabilitation, 
focusing on under-served, low 
income, diverse populations 
for more than 40 years. His 
multi-disciplinary, collabo-
rative efforts helped to build 
bridges with Michigan Bureau 
of Services for Blind Persons, 
Michigan Rehabilitation 
Services, several departments 
of special education and with 
colleagues in ophthalmology 
and other medical specialties. 
His focus was always patient- 
centered. 
His daughter, Susan 
Gormezano, O.D., carries 
on his work through Henry 
Ford Health Center for Vision 
Rehabilitation and Research. 
To this day, multi-generational 
families with special vision 

conditions ask her about Dr. 
Raznik’s well-being and report 
that his work in their early 
years was life-changing.
