Ronald N. Gaster, MD, FACS was named by US News and World Report as a Top Doctor and Most Compassionate Doctor, named by the Orange County Medical Association as a Top Doctor, included in Southern California SuperDoctors, and selected by his peers for inclusion in the Best Doctors in America. Dr. Gaster offers his patients the latest, most technologically advanced surgeries and treatments as a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist in Beverly Hills, California and Orange County, California. At Dr. Gaster's two convenient practices, he treats patients suffering from a wide variety of conditions including diseases of the cornea such as keratoconus and Fuchs' dystrophy, cataracts, pterygia, dry eyes, and trauma. Dr. Gaster's unique combination of skill and experience as an ophthalmologist allows him to be on the cutting edge of the latest eye disease and surgery developments. He is an international expert in Corneal Cross-Linking, also known as CXL, or Collagen Cross-Linking. He specializes in blade-less, All-Laser LASIK surgery that only utilizes lasers instead of metal blades, resulting in safer surgery and a faster recovery period, often with 20/20 or better vision. He uses the Femtosecond laser to make the corneal flap and the Allegretto or VISX laser to perform the ablation to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Dr. Gaster is now offering the latest, most advanced laser refractive surgery procedure called SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction). This procedure uses one laser, the Zeiss VisuMax Laser, to create a small sliver of tissue in the cornea which is then carefully removed and can treat nearsightedness up to -10 D. For small incision cataract surgery, Dr. Gaster uses the femtosecond laser for the cataract and astigmatic incisions and to soften the cataract, and utilizes Advanced Technology intraocular lenses or the Toric lens for correction of astigmatism, as appropriate. He performs his surgeries only at state-of-the-art surgery centers and only with the latest advanced technology. Dr. Ronald Gaster, an expert in laser vision correction, serves the Los Angeles & Orange County areas and provides a variety of laser vision correction procedures. LASIK & All-Laser LASIK (bladeless) surgery are among some of procedures offered at Gaster Eye Center.
