For 2014, Dr. Gaster was again selected by the Orange County Medical Association as a Physician of Excellence and is included in 2012s Best Doctors in Orange County, where he also has an office. Dr. Gaster is on the cutting edge of new developments in eye disease and surgery and is currently accepting and treating new patients in a clinical trial with an IDE from the FDA to compare the effectiveness of corneal cross linking (CXL) alone to INTACS followed by corneal crosslinking (CXL) for progressive keratoconus or ectasia after all-laser LASIK. Please call toll free (855) EYEDOC-1 for a consultation with Dr. Gaster if you suffer from keratoconus that is progressing (your prescription is increasing) or if you have been diagnosed with post- LASIK ectasia. Dr. Gaster is also using the exciting new Femtosecond Laser for cornea transplants and all-laser LASIK surgery. The Femtosecond Laser was recently approved for cataract surgery as well. Dr. Gaster will evaluate if you are a candidate for this procedure, and he will also discuss with you the latest in intraocular lenses (IOL), including premium lenses (premium IOLs), such as Crystalens, ReSTOR and Tecnis Multifocal. Toric lenses are available for patients who have astigmatism along with cataracts. If you need pterygium surgery, Dr. Gasters technique involves using an amniotic membrane graft or transplant or conjunctival autograft with NO SUTURES, also known as sutureless pterygium surgery. If you suffer from dry eyes, also known as keratitis sicca, Dr. Gaster has a special treatment performed at the slit lamp that has helped many of these dry eye patients feel more comfortable.

Dr. Gaster completed my LASIK eye correction surgery in June 2011. For years I wore contacts and glasses before finally deciding that for the convenience and health of my eyes I should perform LASIK. I used to wear my contacts too long and just the constant fingers in the eyes never seemed ideal.

I was referred to Dr. Gaster who went through all the pre-screening tests with me to see if I was a candidate. Never did he push the procedure. He presented two options given my sports background and he answered all relevent concerns. Ana, the Refractory Surgery Coordinator did all the paperwork stuff....she was very kind and thorough, addressing all my pre-surgery questions. Another Austrialian guy did some of the pre-screening tests and he was great as well. The day of surgery was better than expected as the staff made me feel at ease and the procedure was painless.

About 6 months later and I have better than 20/20 vision. The follow up visits showed that Dr. Gaster really cared about his patients and the results. He even called me the night before and days after to ensure I was using my eye drops and seeing better.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Words cannot describe the joy of waking up to perfect vision after years of blurriness. Dr. Gaster's professionalism, education and talent, plus the genuine care make him the best LASIK doctor in Los Angeles.

They have really great customer service here. They always put their customers first, regardless of the situation. Their staff is very friendly and professional. They would never suggest that I buy something that wasn't necessary, and never pressured me. They were always very considerate and professional. They explained all the risks and benefits of my treatment options. Everything was explained in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan.
