About Daryl D Kaswinkel, MD
Daryl D. Kaswinkel, MD is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in the medical and surgical treatment of the eye, with a particular focus on refractive cataract surgery. He is a fellowship-trained specialist in cornea and external disease, refractive surgery, and uveitis.

In addition, he specializes in the medical and surgical management of glaucoma, including advanced treatment options such as the Ex-Press Shunt, seton surgery, and canaloplasty.
Prior to pursuing his medical career, Dr. Kaswinkel graduated college as a mechanical engineer. While working as a manufacturing engineer, he made contributions to the development of today's advanced military aircraft. Because of his subsequent biomedical engineering exposure, he decided to pursue a career in medicine and eventually specialize as an ophthalmologist. He is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, and the American Medical Association.
Dr. Kaswinkel relocated to Columbus in 2008 to join Drs. Erdey and Searcy after practicing in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Chicago for approximately eleven years. He is honored and committed to providing Central Ohio with compassionate, state-of-the-art eye care.
