LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

Prior to your LASIK procedure, you will need to schedule an initial consultation with one of the experienced LASIK eye surgeons at our San Francisco, California office. We suggest that before your initial consultation, you only wear glasses for a week or two. Contacts can change the shape of the cornea, so wearing glasses will allow your eyes to return to their natural shape.

During your consultation, we will determine if you are good candidate for LASIK vision correction and we will perform a thorough eye exam. The eye exam will allow us to map your eyes and determine exactly what changes should be made with the laser. This initial consultation will also provide you with time to ask any and all questions you have about the procedure.

On the days before and after your LASIK procedure, you should stop wearing any lotions, make-up, perfumes, and creams because these products can attach to the eyelashes and can increase the chance of infection after the procedure.

Lastly, it is important that you arrange transportation to and from your LASIK procedure. Prior to undergoing the procedure itself, we may prescribe you a relaxation and/or pain pill to help you during the procedure, but these pills can affect your ability to drive.

If you’ve decided that you’d like to have LASIK, please call or email the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley and we will schedule a personal consultation for you.
