Aker Kasten Eye Center

You can get an eye exam almost anywhere these days; a strip mall, big box store, and a kiosk at the mall.

But when it comes to your vision, the thing that lets you see your kids' faces, drive safely, read, work, live your life, where you go actually matters.

Not every eye doctor trained at Harvard, Columbia, Duke, or Cornell. Not every practice has a Newsweek #1 Ophthalmologist on staff. Not every office has its own Medicare-certified surgical center where your surgeon, your team, and your follow up care are all under one roof.

Convenience is great, but your eyes deserve more than convenient.

Most people focus on the surgeon’s hands during cataract surgery… but their feet are working too.

Modern cataract surgery uses a highly advanced phacoemulsification system controlled in part by a foot pedal, allowing the surgeon to precisely manage fluid flow, suction, and ultrasound energy in real time — all while operating through microscopic incisions.

It’s a level of coordination and precision most patients never get to see 👁️

Laser-assisted cataract surgery is our preferred approach for many patients because it adds an additional layer of precision to an already highly successful procedure.

Using advanced femtosecond laser technology, we can automate key steps of surgery with computer-guided accuracy that goes beyond what can be achieved manually.
Benefits may include:
✔ Increased precision
✔ Reduced energy inside the eye
✔ Less trauma to surrounding tissue
✔ Faster visual recovery
✔ More consistent outcomes

Modern technology allows us to make cataract surgery more precise, predictable, and personalized than ever before.

If you've been dealing with dry, gritty, uncomfortable eyes and nothing seems to work, there's a treatment most people don't even know exists.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light therapy) treats the root cause of chronic dry eye rather than just masking the symptoms with drops. And while it's taking care of your eyes, it's also addressing fine lines, redness, and sun damage around the eye area at the same time.

Two problems, one treatment, and most of our patients wish they had found it sooner.

Behind every polished video is a few laughs, a few retakes, and moments like these. We wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤣🤣🤣

Contact lenses should not be exposed to water, including in the shower.

Tap water can contain microorganisms that may adhere to the lens and become trapped against the surface of the eye, increasing the risk of irritation and potentially serious infection.

For proper lens hygiene and eye health, contacts should always be removed before showering or swimming.
