The Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art vision correction procedures in a professional, caring and efficient manner. Total patient satisfaction with regard to every step of the process, from first call to last postoperative visit, is our ultimate goal.

Dr. Kawesch opened his refractive surgery practice in Northern California in 1992. His original clinic was a small facility in Santa Clara. In 1994, he opened an office in Oakland, and relocated this to Danville a year later. In the "early years" the procedures performed were radial keratotomy (RK), astigmatic keratotomy (AK), and automated lamellar keratoplasty (ALK, a precursor to LASIK).

Dr. Kawesch opened the first excimer laser center for LASIK and PRK in the South Bay, in early 1996, with a facility on Winchester Boulevard in San Jose. By 1999, his practice had grown to the point that larger centers were needed, so he moved his South Bay location to its current site, a 13,000 square foot state-of-the-art center on Saratoga Avenue. Simultaneously, he moved the Danville location to a larger 5,500 square foot facility in Pleasanton.

One of the primary patient concerns for any surgical procedure is transportation to and from the site of the surgery. At the Laser Eye Center, we alleviate this problem. Our refractive surgery patients need not trouble a friend, as our free limo service allows the patient to lean back and close those new-and-improved eyes in the lap of luxury before arriving back home.
