Landon J Rohowetz, MD

I am deeply honored and grateful to the Michels Foundation for the privilege of being welcomed into the Michels family. My deepest gratitude goes to all my mentors, including Drs. Flynn, Yannuzzi, Berrocal, and Albini, whose guidance has profoundly shaped my career and life.

I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Missouri–Columbia before attending medical school at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. I then pursued residency training in ophthalmology at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute where I was fortunate to stay for vitreoretinal surgery fellowship and chief residency.

My research interests focus on improving clinical and surgical outcomes in a variety of retinal diseases including retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, endophthalmitis, and ocular trauma. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, traveling, and following University of Missouri sports.
