Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include visual acuity testing, glaucoma screening, and retinal imaging using Optomap technology. We assess eye health, detect diseases like cataracts and diabetic retinopathy, and determine corrective lens prescriptions. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and personalized treatment recommendations.
Tinted Contact Lenses
We specialize in custom-tinted contact lenses for light sensitivity and migraine management. These therapeutic lenses reduce glare and visual discomfort while improving visual clarity. Our optometrists conduct precise fittings to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness for patients with photophobia or ocular migraines.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye clinic uses TempSure Envi radiofrequency technology to treat meibomian gland dysfunction, the leading cause of dry eyes. This non-invasive procedure improves tear production by unblocking oil glands while reducing facial wrinkles. We also offer in-office tear analysis and personalized management plans.

I'm a first time client at the Kaster eye clinic and I was so impressed with the warm professional way that they care for their clients, the beautiful atmosphere and the efficiency of the office. Dr. Kaster took his time with my vision concerns which made the whole experience really comfortable. Being new to an area is not always fun but the Kaster group made me feel right at home. Thanks!

Just wanted to say that I support Dr Kaster, and all the professionals at Kaster Eye Clinic. I have been trusting Dr Brad since 2014 and along with my three children, we have always had the most thorough vision care possible. His staff is very helpful, courteous & knowledgeable as well, so if you’re looking for a new eye care professional then Kaster Eye Clinic should be your next appointment!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My family and I have followed Dr Kaster here from his previous office. He has always made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. The office is attractive and office personnel very helpful. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

The most beautiful building for eye care. The interior to the building is high class, along with the eye doctors who help you. I've known both Dr Schanz and Dr. Kaster a long time, they are both extremely friendly and outgoing. If you are looking for a new eye doctor, stop looking and call in here. 10/10 would recommend.

I followed Dr. Kaster here from his previous office. He's now in practice in his own office. He's very low key and friendly. I like the fact that he's up on the latest options for me and can suggest what might suit me better. Because of Dr. Kaster, I have been wearing one contact for about two years and no longer need to wear glasses, which I hate!
