Dr. Grossman is a holistic eye doctor, in practice since 1980, and dedicated to helping people with vision problems ranging from myopia and dry eyes to vision threatening diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
He employs a combined multi-disciplinary approach including nutrition, eye exercises, lifestyle changes and Chinese Medicine — a wide array of tools and approaches to tackle difficult eye problems.
Dr. Grossman’s background includes degrees in Optometry, Biology, Physical Education and Learning Disabilities, coupled with yoga, bioenergetics, nutrition, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the Alexander technique and Feldenkrais. This orientation provides the foundation for an integrated approach to vision and its influence on the body, mind and spirit of each patient.
The philosophy of his practice is based on the belief that vision is not static and it need not degenerate. Vision has the ability to improve, and there are practical alternatives for helping vision without resorting to stronger prescriptions for eyeglasses or contact lenses, or submitting to surgery. Poor vision is not just physical and can be improved at any age. According to recent scientific and psychological research on the human visual system, emotional and mental stress, childhood issues and environmental factors have a significant effect on vision. Therefore, to improve vision, the condition as a whole person needs to be addressed including diet, attitude, work, school, environment, physical and emotional issues.
Dr. Grossman lectures nationally on topics such as Natural Vision Improvement, Psycho-Emotional Aspects of Visual Conditions, Vision & Learning, Holistic Integrative Visual Therapy, and Chinese Medicine and Vision Care. He has made a number of videos of simple eye exercise techniques and teaches workshops for health care professionals including physical therapists, chiropractors and body workers, social workers, occupational therapists and other optometrists.
Dr. Grossman is a consultant to school systems, rehabilitation centers and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
