For more than 40 years, Aker Kasten Eye Center has been a leader in ophthalmology, distinguished as one of Florida’s first standalone eye hospitals. Since its founding, the center has set the bar for exceptional eye care, earning a reputation for excellence in the field.

“Restoring sight is truly a privilege,” says Dr. Aker, who recently returned to South Florida after years of prestigious training and practice in Charleston, SC. “Being able to improve my patients’ lives in such a profound way is such a blessing.”
The center is also known for its patient-centered approach, featuring an in-house ambulatory surgery center. “Having our own surgery center allows us to oversee every aspect of a patient’s journey, ensuring the highest standard of care,” Dr. Aker notes.
Specializing in cataract and refractive surgery, as well as minimally invasive glaucoma treatments, Aker Kasten Eye Center performs thousands of surgeries annually.
