No-Blade LASIK

San Francisco, Oakland & San Jose, California

If you are ready for the life-changing experience of LASIK, make sure you choose a San Francisco eye surgeon who offers state-of-the-art, No-Blade LASIK.

No-Blade/all-laser LASIK is the only way we do LASIK at Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley. Our leading eye surgeon, Dr. Gary Kawesch, recommends No-Blade LASIK as the most ideal way to have the procedure performed.

Here's what we mean by No-Blade LASIK:

During the first step of the procedure, Dr. Kawesch creates a thin corneal flap, referred to as the epithelium, in order to target the internal cornea for reshaping. In traditional LASIK, this corneal flap is created using a blade called a microkeratome.

With a hand-cut corneal flap, there is more room for error and additional complication possibilities. In No-Blade LASIK, the corneal flap is created using a laser instead of a blade. The IntraLase laser gently folds back the flap, allowing Dr. Kawesch to create an even thinner flap than is possible with the traditional method.

With IntraLase, you get the peace-of-mind that comes with highly developed laser technology, less risk, and a thinner flap. With No-Blade LASIK, a number of complications associated with the blade are eliminated. IntraLase flap creation is also quick and painless, and allows for quicker healing.
