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

1948, on the GI Bill. He pro-
vided clinical services from
1950-2013, in private prac-
tice, becoming Low Vision

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

multi-disciplinary, collabo-
rative efforts helped to build
bridges with Michigan Bureau
of Services for Blind Persons,

of special education and with
colleagues in ophthalmology
and other medical specialties.
His focus was always patient-
centered.
