LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

LASIK eye surgery is the most frequently performed eye surgery nationwide with over one million surgeries successfully completed every year. LASIK eye surgery takes less than fifteen minutes to complete with the patient experiencing improved vision immediately.

LASIK eye surgery is used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism, reducing your dependency on eye glasses and contact lenses.

Anyone eighteen years of age or older with realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery and who has had no changes in refraction for at least one year may be a LASIK candidate. If you experienced an injury to your eye or have had an eye infection within a year of your surgery, it is recommended you forego the surgery for the time being. Your eye surgeon or ophthalmologist will advise you of the optimum time to schedule your surgery for the best results.

As with any surgical procedure, there is the risk of complications. Risks related to LASIK eye surgery include increased sensitivity to light, haloed or glared vision, irregular astigmatism, dry eyes, and loss of visual clarity. Recent advances in LASIK eye surgery technology have served to reduce the risk of complications with this procedure which is virtually painless.
