Welcome to Gailmard Eye Center, a nationally recognized practice of optometry that was established on Ridge Road in Munster in 1976. GEC has grown into one of the largest and most successful independent optometric practices in the country. This success has occurred by word-of-mouth referral and is primarily the result of our constant quest for excellence in patient satisfaction and eye care technology. We want Gailmard Eye Center to serve as your family's eye care practice for life.
