LASIK
LASIK is a form of laser eye surgery that can reduce or eliminate your need for contact lenses or glasses. LASIK can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our Hobart practice offers free LASIK screenings to all patients interested in the procedure. Contact us to find out if you're a candidate for this life-changing surgery.
Cataracts
As we age, the health of our eyes can suffer. One of the most common eye conditions related to aging is cataracts. A cataract is the clouding of your eye's lens that can cause difficulty seeing, even with contact lenses or glasses. Our ophthalmologists can perform surgery to remove the clouded lens and restore your vision. Our Hobart practice also offers state-of-the-art IOLs to replace your natural lens and treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Deen-Gross Eye center was one of the first to use IOLs during cataract surgery.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that damage your optic nerve. It can cause permanent vision loss when left untreated. Routine eye exams with our board-certified optometrist or ophthalmologists can prevent glaucoma from taking your sight. Our team of specialists offers several treatment options for those suffering from this eye condition. We can help to stop the progression and prevent vision loss.
Eye Exams
Our specialists provide routine eye exams to help prevent diseases and protect your vision. Our optometrist can fit you with contact lenses and glasses so you can stop straining your eyes to read a book or see at night.
