LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

We have had many patients visit our San Francisco, California office who have been concerned about their LASIK vision correction procedure being too painful. One of our main concerns is that our patients are completely satisfied with their LASIK procedure.

To make sure you are as comfortable as possible while your LASIK procedure is being performed, we will provide you with a mild anesthetic so that you won't feel any discomfort. In addition to this, we can also give you a pill to help you relax and prevent any anxiety you may be feeling prior to the LASIK procedure.

During your recovery, you may feel slight discomfort, burning or itching; these are all normal following LASIK and can be corrected with over the counter pain relievers. We recommend you try to sleep after your LASIK procedure so that you can heal without feeling too much discomfort.

If you are considering other vision correction procedures, like Crystalens, ReSTOR, ReZoom, or Advanced Surface Ablation, similar steps will be taken to make sure you are completely comfortable during and after your vision correction procedure.

To learn more about LASIK or any other vision correction procedure, please contact Dr. Gary Kawesch, surgical ophthalmologist at the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley today to schedule your initial LASIK consultation.
