Ophthalmologists
Improving Vision and Lives
for Over 40 Years

We have reopened with new safety protocols in place. We have taken CDC guidelines along with those from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and compiled a comprehensive program. Our staff has been educated and we will be following new social distance guidelines as well as extreme surface cleaning. We are asking all patients to wear some sort of mask or cloth facial barrier when coming to the office. We want to assure you with great confidence that we are doing everything we can to protect our valued patients and our amazing staff.

Please call the office with any concerns and to gain any extra reassurance prior to your visit.

Dr. Gross has been using astigmatism-correcting lens implants and multifocal lenses for several years. Our ophthalmologists offer qualifying patients the advanced AcrySof® Toric implant, which corrects astigmatism from within the eye, creating a tremendous improvement in visual quality. Dr. Gross believes in this technology so much, he even provided this solution to his own father. Dr. Gross also implants the ReSTOR® brand of multifocal implant. This IOL leads to incredible results, with 90 percent of recipients becoming able to abandon corrective lenses.

The most important way to address glaucoma is early diagnosis. 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 one of our ophthalmologists or optometrist so we can determine if you have a serious eye disease.

Often, patients are not sure if they need the attention of an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. Fortunately, the team at Deen-Gross Eye Centers in Merrillville and Hobart, IN, includes both, so all of your eye-related medical needs can be met at one eye clinic.

Optometry involves examining the eye, diagnosing disorders, and recommending or performing non-invasive procedures. Ophthalmology also involves diagnosing and treating eye conditions, but ophthalmologists are able to perform surgeries such as LASIK or cataract surgery.

At our practice, our optometrist and ophthalmologists work together to diagnose and treat eye diseases. Their expert collaboration often leads to dramatic results for our patients, some of whom are able to achieve 20/20 vision and abandon corrective lenses entirely. When you schedule a consultation with our clinic, our reception team will ask questions about your situation to determine if you would be initially served best with optometry or ophthalmology.
