We are excited to help you learn more about Laser Vision Correction. If you would like to have better vision with the probability of no longer wearing glasses or contact lenses, then a laser vision correction procedure may be your solution.

LASIK, the most advanced form of refractive surgery, takes only a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities the very next day, with clear vision and no discomfort. We are proud to offer the very latest laser technology: The Nidek EC 5000 scanning laser, and the Autonomous LADARVision eye-tracking laser.

Current scientific studies available show that Laser Vision Correction is safe and quite successful. In our practice, over 99% of our patients achieve between 20/15 and 20/40 vision without their glasses or contacts (good enough to pass the driver’s test).

Dr. Gary Kawesch is a leading expert in the field, and has performed over 20,000 refractive procedures. He is the Laser Vision Correction specialist for professional athletes throughout the Bay Area.

While Laser Vision Correction is generally considered elective, some insurance companies now cover the cost of the procedure. We will gladly be of assistance in contacting your insurance company to determine coverage. For noninsured patients, other payment options are available including VISA, MasterCard and patient financing.

The Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley also offers an open house twice each month. At these open houses you can see our facility, have a free screening, and speak with some of our patients who have had Refractive Surgery. We are here to answer all your questions.

Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance in scheduling an appointment or answering any questions.
