Here are just a couple of people who have benefited from wavefront-guided LASIK surgery with Dr. Gary Kawesch!

Angela W.
Recent Custom Wavefront Patient
"I've been to the Hawaiian islands several times before but my most recent trip blew them all away. It was the most adventurous week of my life, surfing, parasailing, snorkeling and fearlessly diving head first into the ocean.... all with better than 20/20 vision thanks to Dr. Kawesch and PersonaLASIK! It sure is going to be a great summer!"

Jonathan A.
Recent Custom Wavefront Patient
"I am a 'picky' person and was concerned about being satisfied if the results of LASIK were not as good as with my contact lenses. Knowing that no doctor could guarantee me this, I realized the one thing I could do is make sure I had the highest possible chance of success. The best doctor, best staff, with the finest state of the art equipment would give me that best chance. I wanted to eliminate as much risk as possible. I called several LASIK centers and asked a lot of questions, Dr. Kawesch's Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley easily won top score! I can honestly say that even this 'picky' person is a satisfied patient. I can see greater detail now than when I used contact lenses."

Gale B.
Recent Custom Wavefront Patient
"It's absolutely incredible! I was one of the first patients to benefit from the new Wavefront and LADARVISION technology now being offered by Dr. Kawesch. If I had known that I'd be able to see so much better than I ever could with my contact lenses, I would have had this done years ago! Dr. Kawesch is THE best. My surgery was fast, painless, and problem-free. I now have 20/20 vision in one eye, 20/15 in the other, and I'm in seventh heaven! I highly recommend Dr. Kawesch, and the new procedure, to everyone!"
