Dr. Foster is a respected ophthalmologist looking forward to perfecting individuals’ vision at Davies Eye Center in Oceanside, California. He performs a large volume of LASIK and cataract surgery, and takes pride in being on the cutting edge of intraocular lens technology.
He was the first surgeon in San Diego to implant the new Eyehance toric lens, the most advanced implant for the correction of astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery. He also has extensive experience with RxSight’s light adjustable lens.
As a subspecialist, Dr. Foster performs all types of keratoplasty (corneal transplant), including traditional penetrating grafts, anterior lamellar grafts, and endothelial grafts. He is the only surgeon in North County performing the most advanced form of transplant, the Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty. He also handles other complex anterior segment techniques including scleral-fixated intraocular lenses, pterygia, iris repair, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and is frequently referred to in these cases by local colleagues.
Born and raised in San Diego, Dr. Foster graduated from medical school as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. He left for the Pacific Northwest to complete his surgical residency at the University of Washington. He then stayed in Seattle an extra year to undertake rigorous subspecialty training in cornea transplant.
A firm believer that every patient deserves a tailored approach to cataract surgery, he is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO). The ABO is an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.
Treating all manner of eye ailments in California, Dr. Foster is affiliated with Tri-City Medical Center and Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas.
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. Ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and may perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
In his spare time, Dr. Foster is very much a typical southern Californian – he enjoys surfing, playing beach volleyball, as well as spending time with his wife Laura (an emergency physician), their son Reid, and their dog Roy.
