As one of the first ophthalmologists in the country to perform refractive surgery, San Diego eye surgeon, Dr. Gary Jacobs, is a leader in his field. Dr. Jacobs specializes in Excimer laser vision correction, small incision cataract removal and corneal transplants. His extensive experience in refractive surgery combined with his advanced training and surgical expertise, insure that you receive the best possible results and highest quality of patient care. At the Eye Physicians Medical/Surgical Center in San Diego, Dr. Jacobs and his surgical team strive to help you improve your vision and reduce your dependency on corrective lenses with laser eye surgery. In San Diego, Dr. Jacobs uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques for your refractive surgery to ensure your comfort and safety.

To perform your refractive surgery, Dr. Jacobs uses a cool beam of laser light to reshape the surface of your cornea, reducing or sometimes eliminating your eye's refractive error. Your eyes are first anesthetized with eye drops, making the procedure virtually painless and quick. Dr. Jacobs will begin by gently folding back a thin protective flap of corneal tissue and then using the laser for about 30 to 60 seconds to reshape the corneal surface. Finally the protective corneal flap is folded back into place where it bonds without the need for stitches. You will have clearer, more natural vision within hours of your refractive surgery and can throw away those frustrating contacts for good. Call today to schedule your consultation appointment with Dr. Jacobs in San Diego and discover the amazing benefits of refractive surgery.
