Robert C. Kersten, MD, one of the country’s top oculoplastic surgeons, practices at the John A. Moran Eye Center University of Utah location where he treats adults and children with congenital and acquired disorders of the soft tissues and bones around the eyes. He also performs cosmetic eyelid and upper facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Kersten has authored more than 200 publications on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and cosmetic problems in the eye area. He has been recognized by his peers as one of America’s Best Doctors for over 20 years and received the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Other awards include the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Foundation's 2025 Rick Anderson Award for Surgical Innovation, recognizing outstanding contributions to the art and science of oculofacial surgery, and the 2021 Dortzbach Award in honor of his “outstanding teaching, academic, scientific, and scholarly achievements."

He serves as program director and selection chair for Moran's oculoplastic fellowship.

The former editor of the American Academy of Ophthalmology textbook on surgery for the eyelids, orbits, and tear-duct system, Kersten has lectured internationally in more than 30 countries and frequently speaks in North America.

Dr. Kersten, former chief of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of California San Francisco, earned his medical degree at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, where he also completed a residency in ophthalmology and a fellowship in ophthalmic plastic, orbital, and reconstructive surgery.

Throughout his career, he has devoted significant time to outreach care, performing surgeries and training ophthalmologists worldwide.

MORAN EYE CENTER

well i have seen him 1 time but i think that i am going to be pleased with help he is going to do for me

MORAN EYE CENTER

Dr. Kersten seems to know what he is doing but lacks communication skills with patients (at least with this patient). He decides immediately what needs to be done, without explaining why, and is in a big hurry to move on.

MORAN EYE CENTER

He gave me my eye site back in my left eye for Christmas. It started 3 years ago. I had a surgery done that should not have been that added confusion to the problem. Blood test afterward showed I had Myasthenia gravis. Dr Kersten was the 3rd Neuro - ophthalmologist I went to for help. He was quick he was thorough setup a game plan and now I can properly use my left eye.

MORAN EYE CENTER

Really impressed.

MORAN EYE CENTER

Very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. Disappointed I was sent home after the surgery with an eye abrasion and no pain meds. Swiftly remedied the next day after a sleepless night. I would highly recommend this doctor.

MORAN EYE CENTER

Dr Kirsten is intelligent and kind!

MORAN EYE CENTER

Very timely, yet letting the patient know, services are there when in need

MORAN EYE CENTER

Very good doctor!
