Blade-free LASIK
Many people shy away from the idea of LASIK surgery as soon as they hear the words “knife” or “blade.” There is a blade-free alternative, though, that is making them reconsider.
As a matter of fact, blade-free, all-laser LASIK is the only type of LASIK surgery that Dr. Gary Kawesch will perform on our patients at Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley. The difference is this. In traditional LASIK, a thin blade is used to make the corneal flap. Blade-free LASIK only requires a laser. Since the laser is making the incision rather than the doctor, the incision is much more precise and considerably less room for error and complications.
The technology used in our Blade-Free LASIK procedure is the IntraLase laser. It is the first of its kind and makes thinner, more accurate incisions. It makes the blade practically obsolete.
Once the initial corneal flap has been created, the corneal tissue is gently reshaped using wavefront technology and the flap is moved back in place. It will heal naturally and fairly quickly so no stitches are required.
No doubt you can see why this is the only way Dr. Kawesch performs LASIK surgery on his patients. He knows it is the best procedure for them and will allow for the most accurate vision correction possible.
If you are considering LASIK in San Francisco, Oakland or San Jose, California, please contact us today.
