"Dr. de Beus provides care for diseases of the retina, vitreous and macula, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular puckers and holes, vascular occlusions, retinal detachment and uveitis.

Dr. de Beus is a board certified ophthalmologist who completed a two-year vitreoretinal fellowship at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and an ophthalmology residency at the Duke University Eye Center.

After receiving his undergraduate degree at Yale University and working in an engineering firm, he earned a masters in biomechanical engineering at Columbia University, and a Ph.D. in biomathematics from the City University of New York. He received his medical degree and completed his internship in internal medicine from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Hospital in New York. Dr. de Beus’s research interests included the application of mathematics and engineering to medical problems. He has presented his research at national meetings, has participated in clinical trials and has published in the peer-reviewed literature."

"Southwestern Eye Center was established in 1982 in Mesa, Arizona, by Dr. Lothaire Bluth. For more than 35 years, the practice has grown and continues to offer world-class technology and down-to-earth values.

Dr. Bluth pioneered the concept of bringing the doctor to the patient and bringing comprehensive eye care to rural and underserved areas throughout Arizona. On a given morning, three to four airplanes take Southwestern Eye Center ophthalmologists and their crews to outlying offices and ambulatory surgery centers where operations for cataracts, retinal disease, glaucoma, and oculoplastics are performed on those who are unable to travel to or afford care in larger metropolitan centers. Offering outpatient surgical procedures locally allows patients to receive superior and more convenient care at a fraction of the cost the same procedures required in a metropolitan or hospital setting.

More recently, Southwestern Eye Center partnered with Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center as a founding practice in the American Vision Partners network. We will continue to operate all of our centers with the same level of quality you expect, and you will work with the same doctors and staff you have always trusted for your ophthalmology needs."
