LaserVue surgeons focus on the quality of vision following LASIK surgery for all of our patients in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland East Bay and Santa Rosa areas.
Safety, Experience, and Technology. Perhaps no three factors are as important as these when it comes to choosing who will perform your LASIK laser eye surgery. Take the time to ask questions and get the answers to your satisfaction.
Safety
LASIK is generally a very safe procedure with a low complication rate. The most significant complications are often the result of poor candidates undergoing the LASIK procedure. At LaserVue Eye Center, we thoroughly examine and hold prospective patients to strict criteria when considering them as LASIK candidates. By making sure the laser eye surgery is safe for you before you have it, most complications can be avoided. Choosing a LASIK surgeon who uses state-of-the-art technology and one who has extensive training and experience can also make your LASIK experience safer.
Experience
In LASIK as in life, practice makes perfect. Experience is crucial in selecting a LASIK surgeon. You need someone who not only knows the basics of LASIK but who has also encountered special cases (perhaps one like yours) and has dealt with them successfully. You also want to select a LASIK surgeon who is experienced in the latest laser eye surgery techniques and technology to ensure that you get the best care possible. Dr. Jay Bansal and Dr. Swati Singh are board-certified ophthalmologists and fellowship trained refractive surgery specialists and have each performed many thousands of successful LASIK procedures. They are both additionally certified by the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance. There is no better place to turn for exceptional care. Training and experience produce better results and fewer complications.
Technology
You should not compromise on technology when it applies to your vision. At LaserVue Eye Center, we certainly will not. We have multiple laser platforms (Allegretto Wave and the Visx Star S4) and multiple flap making options (microkeratome and Intralase) to truly customize the treatment for your individual eyes. We also employ cutting edge wavefront technology, which helps map higher order aberrations (abnormalities) in the eye, to provide even better final vision. Equipment and technology can make a big difference in the quality of your results; so don't settle for less than the best!
Fees:
You may be tempted to pick a LASIK surgeon with the lowest fee, but that may not be wise. It may be more comforting to choose the most experienced surgeon with the latest custom technology, and then if needed, find the most affordable financing option available. Simply put, if the surgeon with the latest technology and extensive experience charges $300 more, would it be worth the risk to save about $1/day over the course of one year? Many ads push low cost surgery and then pull a bait-and-switch once you are there. We consider this to be an important warning signal to proceed with caution.
We recommend selecting a surgeon with the experience, technology, and personality that suits you along with an expert and caring staff. At LaserVue, we will take the time to inform you of your options, discuss the risks/benefits of the treatment recommended and answer your questions to your satisfaction. We invite you to come visit LaserVue Eye Center and experience our commitment to helping you achieve your own personal best vision.
At LaserVue, we offer a global comprehensive laser vision correction fee, which includes all pre-operative, surgical and post-operative care for one year. We believe our patients deserve and expect the finest care. There are no shortcuts to great results. Our fees do not change by the prescription, by the amount of care needed, or by the surgeon. Also, rest assured that none of our many referring doctors have any personal financial investment in LaserVue Eye Center.
We believe that once you have compared our Experience, Safety, and Technology - you will choose LaserVue Vision Correction for your eyes. With several laser vision correction financing options available, it is also very affordable.
