Our History
Eye Care Specialists is a state-of-the-art practice that initiated multi-specialty ophthalmology in Southeast Missouri. Our eye doctors are eye care physicians who collaborate in the area of complex ophthalmologic conditions that warrant the expertise of ophthalmologists with fellowship training. Eye Care Specialists is progressive in being high-tech, while preserving a service-oriented focus in “caring for the needs of your special eyes.”
Cape Retinal Surgery Center
In 1989, David Westrich, M.D. initiated a practice specializing in vitreoretinal disease and surgery. The practice grew from a single eye doctor’s office to a multi-specialty ophthalmology practice with fellowship-trained surgeons and satellite locations in three states (Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky). The name was changed to Eye Care Specialists in 1998 to encompass various divisions of clinical ophthalmology specialization.
