A note from Dr. Caster:

Lasik laser vision correction is one of the great medical advances of our time. Though you have lived with poor eyesight for years, you can now have this painless five-minute treatment and walk out just minutes later seeing without glasses or contact lenses. The treatment is incredibly liberating. There is really no other medical procedure which combines such a profound improvement with lack of pain and very rapid recovery. My own nearsightedness and astigmatism were corrected with Lasik in 1996, and I have enjoyed wonderful eyesight ever since.

I have been an ophthalmologist for over twenty five years, and for the past fourteen years I have dedicated my practice exclusively to Lasik laser vision correction. During this time I have performed almost 30,000 treatments. This specialization is one of the keys to our great results. When you apply all of your talent and energies in one focused area, you learn how to do it very, very well.

No one has technology that surpasses us. We have three different lasers to choose from, including our favorite, the WaveLight Allegretto. We perform all variations of laser vision correction, including Lasik, IntraLase, PRK, and Lasek. All treatments at the Caster Eye Center use Custom wavefront technology.

Laser vision correction is not right for everyone. We will only perform your treatment if we are confident that we can obtain excellent results. We advise 30% of our patients not to have laser vision correction, because they are not ideal candidates. If a different procedure is more appropriate for you, we will refer you to a top specialist in that particular technique.

One of the most important aspects of medicine is the caring approach of the doctor. A doctor who really cares will spend time talking to the patient. The truly caring doctor will use only the best equipment, will be extremely meticulous in all aspects of measurement and treatment, and will insist on having only superbly trained staff. When you speak with us, when you visit our office, and when you have your treatment, you will see the experience and the caring attitude. And you will appreciate the difference each day thereafter as you enjoy your new vision.

I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,
Andrew I. Caster, MD, FACS
