Bio

James Grove, OD, is an optometrist with residency training in ocular disease. A biology degree from Grove City College led to an optometry doctorate at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1991. A student externship in Denver served patients with limited access to eye care, and the residency year that followed was spent at The Eye Institute in Philadelphia.

The clinical practice is medical optometry, centered on eye disease, follow up after surgery, and the needs of older patients. Glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, and dry eye make up much of a typical week.

Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry came alongside the clinical work, and state level service followed on the optometry board in Pennsylvania, latterly as its vice chairman. Fourteen years in private practice preceded the move to this practice in 2007. In Dr. Grove's own words, "Most of my patients are older and are managing something that will not simply go away, so the work is steady follow up and honest updates. I would rather someone understand the plan than be impressed by it." Patients can schedule a visit with Dr. Grove at the Chambersburg office of Ludwick Eye Center.
