George A. Roebuck, O.D.
“After 46 years of practice, I have retired. My last day seeing patients was December 20, 2025. My wife, Debbie, and I will be moving closer to our grandkids in the Cincinnati, Ohio area after I turn 70 in January.
At this time, my top priority is assuring my patients that I am leaving them in good hands with Dr. Jennifer Jacobs. Dr. Jacobs and I have been working together for over three years, and she purchased the practice two years ago. I know many of you have already met her. I have the utmost confidence that she will provide you and your family with the best optometric care in the years to come.
As I look forward to retirement and living close to my grandchildren, I will always look back to my 46 years serving the Morris and Grundy County area with pride and gratitude. I want you to know that it has been an honor to serve you as your optometrist.”
Your eye care is an important part of your overall health care.
At our practice we strive to offer our patients the highest quality vision care and service. Each of our staff members are professionally trained to assist you in making informed decisions about what products and procedures will best benefit you and your individual eye care needs.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our doctors specialize in school exams, routine vision exams, medical eye problems and Medicare exams. We take our time and love to explain things.
Eye Infections
Infections are easier to treat when they are just beginning. We promise to work in eye infections the same day you call for an appointment.
Contact Lenses
We use all the new brands – even bifocal contacts.
Dry Eyes
Our doctors are experienced in treating mild irritation to horrible itchy scratchy eyes – dry eyes can be a major problem to patients. Several new therapies are available.
Glaucoma Treatment
Usually a problem for patients over 40 years old. We do all the testing and treatment.
Eye Allergies
Do you get the watery, itchy eyes, especially in the spring and fall? Several new medications are available.
Computer Eyestrain
Starring at the computer screen all day can really strain your eyes. Sometimes bifocals don’t work well, due to position of the screen. Computer glasses can really help.
Emergency Eye Care
If you have an eye emergency after office hours, contact the office and you will be directed to the doctor’s home or cell phone number.
