General Practitioners

Headaches
Arthritis
Autoimmunie Disorders: Inflammation, dry or burning eyes, or “bulging” eyes due to retraction of the eyelids can signify disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, or Graves disease.
Cryotherapy
Pneumatic retinopexy can sometimes be an in-office procedure. Dr. Westrich or Dr. Metelitsina injects a gas bubble into the inside of the eyeball. The gas bubble pushes the retinal tear back into place against the wall of the eye. Then either a laser treatment (photocoagulation) or freezing treatment (cryotherapy) repairs the tear and prevents further damage to the retina. You will need to maintain a specific head position for several days to keep the gas bubble over the retinal tear as it heals.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” because there are few to no symptoms and it causes irreversible damage before there is any noticeable vision loss.
Ophthalmology
Specialists is a state-of-the-art practice that initiated multi-specialty ophthalmology in Southeast Missouri. Ophthalmologists of our practice collaborate in the area of complex ophthalmologic conditions that warrant the expertise of physicians and subspecialists.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration affects the macula, the small, sensitive area of the retina which provides our central vision. The macula allows us to see fine details and gives the “pinpoint” vision we use for tasks such as reading small print, recognizing faces, shapes, and colors, threading a needle, seeing a computer screen, and driving a car.
Laser Eye Surgery
The first step to determining if you are a candidate for LASIK eye surgery is a consultation. Depending on where you are in your exploration of LASIK, you may want to start by scheduling a Free Screening to determine candidacy, or proceed to the Full Dilated Exam to prepare for Surgery.
Cataracts
Having a cataract can be a good thing! A cataract develops when proteins in the lens of the eye begin to clump together forming clusters that eventually cloud your natural lens. These clusters allow less light to pass through the lens causing issues such as cloudy vision and difficulty seeing at night.
Cataract Surgery
What are cataract symptoms? How long is cataract surgery recovery? How much does cataract surgery cost? What does insurance pay for cataract surgery? Can you get cataracts again? Which IOL should I choose?
Eye Exam
More than 23 million Americans age 18 and older have never had an eye exam! Most say they don’t think they have an eye problem when, in fact, many eye diseases don’t show symptoms in their early stages.

Pregnancy

Internal Medicine

Neurology
While all eye surgery is very intricate and considered “micro-surgery”, the vitreoretinal areas of the eye are especially delicate and require specialized training. Subspecialists are ophthalmologists who opt to “specialize” in a particular area of ophthalmology such as retinal, corneal, glaucoma, neurology, or plastic surgery. This requires an additional one to two-years of in-depth training called a fellowship.

Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
Some risk factors for cataracts, aside from the natural aging of the eye, include: eye trauma or surgery, longterm use of certain medications, exposure to radiation, X-rays or UV light, or diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and glaucoma.
Thyroid
Autoimmune Disease: Some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, thyroid disease, and lupus, can cause the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack its own moisture-producing glands.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy encompasses the diabetic eye diseases affecting the retina, the thin lining at the back of the eye which allows images to transmit to the brain. These eye conditions include

Ultrasound
As an ultrasound uses sound waves to capture images of bodily tissue, optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses light waves to take very high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the back of the eye. While your eyes are dilated, you’ll place your head on a chin rest while a light beam obtains the images. This diagnostic test allows your doctor to detect eye conditions such as glaucoma or determine the thickness of the macula and the presence of such conditions as macular edema, cystic changes, and hemorrhage or fluid leakage.
MRI
All pertinent medical records related to your eyes or vision, if available (including ophthalmic diagnostic test results, summary letters from other eye doctors, and x-rays, MRI, or CT scans)
X-Rays
Computed Tomography

Otolaryngology
Board certification indicates that beyond his or her basic medical license, an entity recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties has certified the surgeon to practice within his or her specialty. For osteopathic physicians in ophthalmology, this entity is the American Osteopathic Board of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology (AOBOO). The AOBOO certifies the surgeon has completed specific training and continuing education related to the specialty. Click here for more information on AOBOO qualifications for certification.

Eyelid Surgery
Plastic Surgery
While ophthalmologists are trained to care for all eye problems and conditions, subspecialists obtain advanced knowledge and training in a specific area of eye care. One to two years of additional, more in-depth training, called a fellowship, in one of the main subspecialty areas such as glaucoma, retina, cornea, and plastic surgery, is required. This added training prepares specialists to take care of more complex or specific conditions in certain areas of the eye.
Blepharoplasty
Specialists is pleased to offer Dr. Byron Santos’ functional and cosmetic oculoplastics procedures such as blepharoplasty, entropion and ectropion, ptosis repair, and eyelid-lesion surgery.
Laser Resurfacing

Skin Cancer
Cancer: Cancer can occur in the eyes as well as the rest of the body. Pigmentation in the eye or lumps and bumps on the eyelids can discover skin cancer or carcinoma.
