No Blade /All Laser LASIK in San Jose, California with Dr.Gary Kawesch of Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley

If you flinch even as your own finger closes in on your eye, how would you handle a blade? Sure, modern technology ensures that surgical procedures are safe, but only to a point; there is always that slight risk. Be at ease with no blade/all laser LASIK under the care of expert eye surgeon Dr. Gary Kawesch in the Bay Area.

LASIK has two steps: the first one is to cut a thin flap at the front of the cornea; the second is to alter the shape of the cornea to correct the problem. With traditional LASIK, the flap is cut using the blade of a mechanical microkeratome. In contrast, no blade/all laser LASIK uses a bladeless, laser microkeratome to cut the flap. It is a great deal more accurate than a blade and provides a huge margin of precision and safety.

Unpleasant complications in traditional LASIK usually occur in the first step of surgery, when creating the flap. In bladeless LASIK, that risk—no matter how small it may be—is eliminated. The procedure is very simple and quick. It only takes about a couple of minutes and in most cases the patient has improved vision as soon as the next day and can resume normal day-to-day activities.

Dr. Kawesch was among the first doctors to open a specialized clinic after the treatment was made legal. His skill and expertise has been trusted by many celebrities and athletes from all over the country. He has performed over 35,000 surgeries to date.

No blade/all laser LASIK can make a world of difference in the blink of an eye. Give the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley a call today to set up an appointment with Dr. Kawesch.
