Cataracts are a progressive change in the crystalline lens inside your eye. They can make your vision cloudy, making daily tasks difficult. When cataracts are significant enough to interfere with eyesight, the recommended solution is surgical removal followed by the placement of an intraocular lens (IOL).

Deen-Gross Eye Centers in Merrillville and Hobart, IN, is proud to offer patients the most modern IOLs in ophthalmology when cataract surgery becomes necessary. Dr. Gross and Dr. Nelson perform their surgeries in a state-of-the-art medical facility to ensure the best possible safety and results.

Glaucoma is a condition that often involves excessive pressure within the eye, which can damage important tissues and nerves. It is a very serious eye disease that can result in blindness without proper attention.

If you have this condition, our doctors can help you manage the problem. While vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible, modern ophthalmology provides several effective management strategies that can prevent further damage, including medical management and laser surgery.

Early diagnosis is key. If you are experiencing pain in your eyes or gradual impairment of your vision, don't assume it's just part of getting older. You should schedule an exam with our ophthalmologist or optometrist so we can determine if you have a serious eye disease.
