Born and raised in Canal Fulton, OH, Dr. Kaster received his bachelor of Science degree from Ohio University in Athens, OH. He was active as a drummer in the Marching 110, an assistant in the biology labs, and a manager at Shively Dining Hall.
Dr. Kaster then returned to his native area to launch his optometry career. After working in a local family practice and with oculoplastics in Westlake, he founded Kaster Eye Clinic in 2015.
Dr. Kaster and his team are continually learning about the most current advances in optical treatment, technology and materials. Dr. Kaster is licensed to practice optometry by the state examining boards of Ohio, Colorado and Florida.

He is an avid boater, snow skier, and loves travelling both home and abroad. Dr. Kaster likes to multitask by listening to audiobooks while he’s busy, and takes part in a monthly mens’ book club.
In 2008, Dr. Kaster was featured on The TODAY Show, when he donated a kidney to his father using a breakthrough, minimally invasive technique. “They removed my kidney through my navel, and I barely have a scar to show for it.”
Like Dr. Kaster, he is a graduate of Northwest Local School District in Canal Fulton. He finished his Bachelors in Microbiology at Grove City College, PA, and then completed his optometry training at The Ohio State University College of Optometry. Dr. Schanz served as class president and also obtained his Masters in Visual Science during his training.
Dr. Schanz and his wife, Karen, are the loving parents of two boys. He is highly involved with his church, serving as youth pastor. He is also an avid runner, still holding a track record at Northwest, and proudly completed his first marathon in Akron in September 2015! We are happy to have Dr. Schanz join the Kaster Eye Clinic Team.
