About Me
Alexander A. Foster, MD, is an ophthalmologist who focuses on modern cataract care and clear communication at every visit. He performs cataract and refractive cataract surgery and helps patients choose premium intraocular lenses tailored to their goals, from multifocal to toric options. Dr. Foster also offers refractive lens exchange for adults who want to reduce dependence on glasses or contacts and provides comprehensive family eye care.
Originally from Alaska, Dr. Foster completed medical school at the University of Washington and ophthalmology residency at the University of Texas San Antonio, followed by internship training in Tucson. He is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Patients appreciate his patient-first style, step-by-step education, and the convenience of dropless cataract pathways when appropriate. His professional interests include optimizing visual outcomes and pairing cataract surgery with minimally invasive glaucoma procedures when beneficial. He welcomes adults seeking evaluations for cataracts, second opinions on lens choices, or general eye care.
