LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

The results of LASIK eye surgery are a permanent change. The conditions that can affect your vision, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts or other eye conditions or diseases can still develop even after LASIK eye surgery.

LASIK eye surgery was designed to reduce or eliminate the need to wear eye glasses or contact lenses by gently reshaping the cornea with computer-controlled technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

LASIK eye surgery is quick, safe and effective usually requiring one to two minutes for each eye. You are able to see more clearly within minutes and are able to return to your normal daily activities the day after your procedure. Your vision continues to improve over the ensuing weeks and months.

Although there are some risks associated with LASIK eye surgery, they are minimal. However, it must be noted the potential exists for overcorrection or undercorrection, infection and scarring. With recent advances in LASIK technology these risks are minimized in the hands of a highly skilled and trained eye surgeon or ophthalmologist.

If you reside in San Francisco, Oakland or the San Jose, California area and the idea of not having to wear eye glasses or contact lenses any longer appeals to you, please contact Dr. Gary Kawesch of the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley today to schedule a consultation to discuss the great benefits and minimal risks involved with LASIK eye surgery.
