Post LASIK Eye Surgery Care IS Available In Gilroy!
Having worn glasses for more than 30 years now (since second grade) I’ve been keeping an eye on LASIK technology for a while now (pun intended, BTW). It’s amazing how much progress this vision correction surgery has made over the last decade or so.
Now, instead of using a single hand held laser to perform the surgery, two separate and distinct lasers are used in combination with the wave-front technology that you’ve probably heard of. Basically, it goes like this-
- Wave-front maps your eye to determine how it is unique.
- Laser one cuts a corneal flap with the assistance of computer guidance.
- Laser two does the actual vision correction with the assistance of the wave-front maps.
- Follow up with an optometrist to make sure everything went okay.
That’s pretty much all there is to it. One of the (small) things that has kept me from moving forward with iLASIK surgery (as it’s now called) has been the hassle of repeatedly having to go up to San Jose or somewhere along the peninsula for repeated after-care visits. But while I was poking around for LASIK information recently I discovered that you don’t have to receive your follow up care from the same office you get the surgery. In fact, there are several optometrists right here in Gilroy!
Better, safer, more effective technology combined with more and more convenience is dropping those barriers to LASIK like hot rocks. It seems I’ll be leaving my glasses behind sooner rather than later.

Jamess last blog post..Eyes Surgery Risks
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Really Max? It seems strange that someone in the eye surgery business couldn’t understand this article. I guess that’s a pretyt good warning for all people to avoid your linked website, YourLaserEyeSurgery.com then. I certainly know I won’t be going there for information and suggest all of my readers avoid it as well.
