Help Find a Doctor in My Area

I have glaucoma and am developing cataracts that is majorly changing my vision.for the worse. I also have high myopia.
My current ophthalmologist who has been  treating me for glaucoma  the past few years is now recommending sugery to help control my glaucoma. He feels medication is not doing enough. He does the sugery, but, in my case, is referring me to a specialist. The way he explained it to me, I have a pretty bad case of glaucoma, already have some vision lost one eye, and, I'm becoming more nearsighted, though most of that could  be due to the cataract forming.( I guess that's better than if it were something else causing it)

Anyway, does anyone know of a ophthalmologist in the St. Louis, Missouri area.  From what I hear, this city has some really good physicians in this field.   Doing some Google searches, I came up with Barnes Jewish Hospital & Washington University Eye Center, I'm thinking they are associated.  I want one that is good at glaucoma and cataracts.
