Kurt Rambis Presents To Dr. Andrew Caster at Daytime Beauty Awards

Four-time NBA Champion and Senior Advisor to the Los Angeles Lakers' Kurt Rambis stepped out on Sunday, September 12th to honor LASIK Dr. Andrew Caster at the Daytime Beauty Awards. 

The award show recognizes science behind beauty and spotlights health and wellness professionals in the fields of dentistry, medicine, health and fitness, aesthetics, skincare, color and styling, cannabis, beauty innovation and more.

"Growing up, I didn't know that you were meant to be able to see the signs across the street. I got my first pair of glasses when I was in the third grade. And I spent the next 25+ years dreaming about being able to get rid of them. My sight was so bad that when I'd wipe my sweaty goggles off during timeouts, I couldn't even see Paula and the Lakers girls – and they were ten feet away from me. Getting my sight back was an amazing, life-changing gift and it’s thanks to this year’s Outstanding Achievement in Medicine honoree," Kurt Rambis said on stage. 

Dubbed the Best Lasik Surgeon in LA by Los Angeles Magazine, Dr. Caster has dedicated his career in ophthalmology to perfecting the art of LASIK eye surgery. Completing his medical education at Harvard and the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute, Dr. Caster became just one of twenty doctors who performed the initial Lasik treatments evaluated by the FDA for approval in the 90s. 

Operating on professional athletes like Hall of Fame Golfer Amy Alcott, Los Angeles Laker Kurt Rambis, as well as stars from Steven Tyler to John Stamos, Chelsea Handler and Chris Tucker, Dr. Caster has performed over 30,000 laser vision correction procedures. 

Having written five editions of his book Lasik: The Eye Laser Miracle, studied by Harvard students, Dr. Caster founded Caster Eye Center and continues to be a pioneer in using the latest laser technology procedures.  

OmegaXL by Great HealthWorks served as the event’s title sponsor. The award statuette, better known as the ‘Holly,’ was designed by Christopher Guy.
