Laser Eye Surgery Center San Jose, Santa Clara County, CA

You have enough things to worry about. Why put up with contacts or glasses any longer? Laser eye surgery is a permanent, pain-free method of correcting common vision problems. It is considered today to be the best surgical option for doing so. Dr. Gary Kawesch was among the first doctors to open a specialized clinic after the surgery was made legal. He has performed over 35,000 refractive surgeries to date, and his skills are trusted by many celebrities and athletes nationwide.

Basically, the point of laser eye surgery is to eliminate the patients dependency on glasses and contact lenses by correcting and improving the uncorrected visual acuity in patients. The doctor will first perform a Comprehensive Eye Exam, which takes approximately 90 minutes. He will perform a thorough evaluation and analysis of your vision before determining whether laser eye surgery is right for you.

The procedure starts by applying anesthetics to your eye with a dropper. The middle portion of the cornea is treated by a machine called a microkeratome. The surface of the cornea is lifted so that the laser can reshape the corneal surface. The corneal flap is then restored. The procedure in itself is quite simple and quick. It only takes a few minutes and in most cases, the patient sees improved vision as soon as the following day. The patient can return to work without missing a beat.

Do you remember what it was like when you didnt need glasses or contacts? If not, then laser eye surgery will provide you with a much needed breath of fresh air. Call Dr. Kawesch’s office today to schedule a consultation with the expert eye surgeon.
