Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma encompasses a group of eye diseases that share a characteristic pattern of optic nerve damage which, if untreated, frequently leads to vision loss. In addition, certain racial and ethnic groups have a higher incidence of glaucoma subtypes. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing vision loss.
Ophthalmology
From routine eye examinations to complicated ophthalmic diagnoses and procedures, the physicians at The Eye Care Group are dedicated to providing you and your family members with the highest quality of eye care. All of our comprehensive ophthalmologists are board-certified by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Macular Degeneration
Dr. Berenberg has a particular interest in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of diabetic retinal diseases, macular degeneration, epiretinal membranes, macular holes, retinal vascular disease, retinal tears, and retinal detachments. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and presented his work at multiple national meetings. In addition, Dr. Berenberg has volunteered internationally in China, South America, and India, educating local physicians on medical and surgical care.
Laser Eye Surgery
When patients visit corporate and discount laser centers they are typically attracted by a low price ad. Corporate laser centers are “sales driven” and once there, patients are often presented with any array of options as if they were buying a car. The options packages often include different quality lasers, doctors of varying experience and even the length and type of post operative care. The sales people at these corporate laser centers are often commissioned and will always try to “up sell” the patient to the more lucrative packages. Usually patients end up paying as much or more at these corporate laser centers as they do for Premium LASIK at The Eye Care Group.
Cataracts
Once all of the cataract material has been removed, and assuming that the lens capsule which was opened at the beginning of the surgery remains strong enough to support the lens implant, a folded intraocular lens specifically chosen by the surgeon to suit your individual needs is then inserted through the original incision and maneuvered into the lens capsule and then centered. The lens will remain inside your eye in this location without moving. Intraocular lenses cannot be felt or sensed in any way by the patient.
Cataract Surgery
Using the most up to date methods and instrumentation, cataract surgery is typically performed using a small incision phacoemulsification technique. This means that the cataract surgery is accomplished using the smallest possible incision, and removal of the lens material is accomplished using an ultrasonic needle.
Eye Exam
Strabismus, or lazy eye, is a misalignment of the eyes. Eyes may turn inwards, known as esotropia, drift outwards, known as exotropia, or turn vertically, known as hypertropia. An eye turn in a child can lead to amblyopia, or decreased vision in an otherwise normal eye, because the developing brain may ignore the image from the deviated eye. Amblyopia can also occur if two eyes have a different refractive error and the developing brain ignores the more blurred image. An eye turn can also indicate that glasses are needed to relax accommodation in someone who is very farsighted, known as accommodative esotropia. Strabismus can indicate that a child is not seeing well out of the eye due to various structural eye conditions, including cataracts, optic nerve damage, an eye tumor, such as retinoblastoma, or even elevated intracranial pressure. Other times the eyes only appear to be crossed, known as pseudostrabismus, which improves as the infant’s facial features mature. Any child with suspected strabismus should have a thorough eye examination.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Steven Thornquist is a board certified ophthalmologist practicing pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus (eye turns). He received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then graduated from the University of Arizona College of Medicine, where he was elected to the medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed an internal medicine residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital and an ophthalmology residency at the Scheie Eye Institute of the University of Pennsylvania. His pediatric fellowship training was completed at Temple University/St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia.

Multiple Sclerosis
Strabismus is also seen in adults, either from decompensation of a previously well-controlled childhood eye turn, or from trauma, stroke, tumors, Grave’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or myasthenia gravis. At The Eye Care Group, strabismus specialists work closely with our neuro-ophthalmologists and oculoplastic specialist in complex cases to provide you with the highest quality of eye care.

Endocrinologist

Diabetic Retinopathy
Vitreoretinal specialists are ophthalmologists specializing in treatment of all retina diseases including age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment, macular holes, and diabetic retinopathy.

MRI
On your initial visit, expect a thorough medical history and comprehensive examination. We recommend that you plan on an initial appointment length of approximately 2 hours and either arrive 15 minutes early or complete the registration prior to your appointment. Dr. Silbert may also recommend that you undergo special testing and imaging, such as visual field testing, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and CT or MRI imaging, to help guide your diagnosis and treatment. Treatment options may include observation, eye drops or oral medications, Botox® injections, or surgery.
Computed Tomography
At The Eye Care Group, our neuro-ophthalmology service is a busy referral practice from neurologists, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and physicians across the region. On your initial visit, expect a thorough medical history and comprehensive examination, including dilation. In addition, your ophthalmologist may recommend that you undergo special testing, such as a visual field test, fundus photography, or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to help guide your diagnosis and treatment. Please remember to bring a copy of your MRI or CT scan CD with you. We recommend that you plan on an initial appointment length of approximately 4 hours and arrive either 15 minutes early or complete the registration form prior to your appointment.

Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Silbert, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, orbits, face and lacrimal system, grew up in the St. Louis area. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1990 and returned to St. Louis where he obtained a combined medical and master’s degree from Washington University in 1995. Subsequently, he completed his internship and Ophthalmology residency at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. He went on to complete a fellowship in oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Oklahoma Dean A. McGee Eye Institute prior to joining The Eye Care Group in 2002.

We have a new alternative that is safe and effective way to get rid of the emotional “road map” of wrinkles that come with age. One of the most popular “mini-treatments” today, Botox is a quick fix for the work of many years. Frown lines, crows feet and worry lines can easily be erased.
Eyelid Surgery
As a continuing effort to offer our patients a full range of services and the latest technology, we are now offering eyelid surgery services.

Jesse is also an amateur mycologist and enjoys studying fungus and mushrooms as well as foraging them to cook and eat. He has one pet hamster (Peplion) who he loves very much as well as dozens of house plants he loves even more.
Lesions
Neuro-Ophthalmology involves the relationship between neurologic and ophthalmic diseases, neuro-ophthalmology also deals with local pathology affecting the optic nerve and visual pathways. Over 50 percent of all intracranial lesions involve or oculomotor pathways. Neuro-ophthalmology is generally practiced as a nonsurgical subspecialty but can be combined with surgery of the eye and orbit.
