About Me

Dr. Harry Koster is a board-certified comprehensive ophthalmologist and refractive surgeon specializing in the treatment of corneal and external diseases, anterior segment reconstruction surgery, and phacoemulsification. He has performed over 25,000 LASIK and cataract procedures and was one of the first eye surgeons in New York to utilize multifocal lens technology.

Before LASIK was FDA-approved in the United States, Dr. Koster completed a prestigious fellowship in refractive surgery at Hotel-Dieu in Paris, one of France's leading eye hospitals. He also completed a fellowship at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary of Harvard Medical School and a residency at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai.
