LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

Diagnosis and treatment of many visual problems can be undertaken by either an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. Both types of doctors can prescribe glasses and contact to correct your vision, but only a qualified medical doctor with a specialty in ophthalmology can perform refractive eye surgery like LASIK. Most people progress through various stages of vision correction, from glasses to contact lenses to laser vision correction. It just makes sense to start out seeing an experienced LASIK surgeon like Dr. Kawesch who can treat you as you move through each stage.

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis or LASIK eye surgery must be performed on stable eyes, ones whose visual acuity has remained the same for approximately two years. During that time, you will continue to need vision correction and regular eye exams. Once you are ready to move to the next step toward permanent vision correction, LASIK surgery, you can go to the same facility that knows your entire visual medical history.

At the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, Dr. Kawesch can diagnose and treat any vision problem, from problems with acuity, to advanced surgery like cataracts and LASIK. Since 1992 he has performed more than 40,000 refractive procedures and has treated thousands of people in the San Jose area.
