LASIK vision correction offers new hope for those suffering a lifetime of farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism. In San Francisco and the Bay Area, literally tens of thousands of people have been treated by Dr. Gary Kawesch and his team of LASIK vision correction surgeons. From Oakland Raiders to San Francisco 49ers to pilots, engineers, homemakers and more, the surgeons of the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley have improved a lot of lives with the gift of good vision. There are many nuances to, and variations of, LASIK vision correction, but the heart of the procedure involves two steps. In the first, a thin flap is sliced into the patient's cornea. In the second step, the surgeon lifts back the flap and uses an excimer laser to reshape or "resculpt" the cornea. For nearsightedness, the corneal tissue is made flatter, whereas for farsightedness, the tissue is sculpted into a raised shape. Astigmatism calls for the cornea to be shaped more spherically. Choosing San Francisco LASIK Vision Correction Wisely Though LASIK vision correction is relatively common in San Francisco and beyond, that doesn't mean that any "vision center" should be performing it. Look only to surgeons who have made refractive surgery their sole focus. At the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, the surgical team specializes in LASIK and other related refractive surgeries and nothing more.
