About Me

Karl M. Andersen, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in the front of the eye—cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery. He provides comprehensive consultations and surgical care, offering a full range of options from LASIK and ICL to advanced cataract surgery and corneal transplantation. Dr. Andersen focuses on matching each patient’s goals with the safest, most effective procedure, and he takes time to explain risks, benefits, and realistic outcomes.

His clinical interests include partial- and full-thickness corneal transplantation, ocular surface tumor evaluation and removal, and pterygium surgery. Dr. Andersen also speaks medical Spanish, helping him connect with a broader range of patients. He is committed to evidence-based care and brings fellowship training in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery to every case.
