General Practitioners

Primary Care
It is recommended that everyone with diabetes get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. Between 40 to 45 percent of Americans diagnosed with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age people in the United States. Working with your primary care physician to maintain normal blood sugar levels and controlling your diabetes minimizes the risk of complications from your condition.

Between 40 to 45 percent of Americans diagnosed with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma, once thought of as a single disease, is actually a broad term for a pattern of damage to the optic nerve (the bundle of nerve fibers that carries information from the eye to the brain). This pattern usually occurs in the presence of high intraocular pressure, but contrary to popular belief, glaucoma can occur with normal or even below-normal eye pressure. Left untreated, glaucoma can result in vision loss.
Ophthalmology
According to the American Board of Medical Specialties website, "A board certified physician has completed an approved educational training program and an evaluation process including an examination designed to assess the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to provide quality patient care in that specialty." Dr. Militello has completed the Board Certification process by the American Board of Ophthalmology, which is one of the founding members of the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Macular Degeneration
The most common cause of blindness among Americans over age 50 is age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). This is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. ARMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see the fine details of what you focus on.
Laser Eye Surgery
Cataracts
Until recently, life without reading glasses or bifocals was not an option for most cataract patients. You now have an option. The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL is a unique technological innovation that can provide you with quality vision throughout the entire visual spectrum - near through distance - with increased potential independence from reading glasses or bifocals!
Cataract Surgery
A Posterior Capsulotomy is a surgical procedure that is sometimes necessary after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery removes the cloudy lens from the cellophane-like membrane called the lens capsule. In about half of all cataract surgery patients, the lens capsule, or "bag", becomes cloudy or wrinkled. Patients start to experience symptoms similar to before the cataract surgery, including blurred vision or increased glare. It will seem as if the cataract has come back.
Eye Exam
2. Dilated eye exam. Drops are placed in your eyes to widen, or dilate, the pupils. Your eye care professional uses a special magnifying lens to examine your retina and optic nerve for signs of damage and other eye problems. After the exam, your close-up vision may remain blurred for several hours.

Endoscopy
Dr. Militello has privileges at Spring Hill Regional, Brooksville Regional, and Oak Hill Hospitals. Dr. Militello has surgical privileges at Bayonet Point Surgery Center in Hudson, All Saints Surgery Center in Brooksville, and Florida Endoscopy and Surgery Center in Brooksville.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
All people with diabetes--both type 1 and type 2--are at risk of developing Diabetic Retinopathy. Retinopathy is the medical term for damage to the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that nourish the retina, which is the tissue at the back of your eye that captures light and relays information to your brain. These blood vessels are often affected by the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOX® can be used for the clinical indications of blepharospasm (eyelid spasms), Meige's syndrome and hemifacial spasms to reduce the effects of these facial movement disorders. Common symptoms of these disorders are increased blinking, dry or watering eyes, and involuntary contractions of the muscles on one side of the face. Treatment with BOTOX® usually last approximately three months and is normally covered by your medical insurance.
Eyelid Surgery
Any one or combination of the following conditions may indicate that you may be considered a good candidate for eyelid surgery...
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. With age and occasionally for hereditary reasons, the muscles and ligaments around the eyes weaken and the skin becomes increasingly loose and puffy, producing an older and tired appearance.
