Laser Eye Surgery in Vancouver
As an experienced LASIK surgeon, Dr. King believes that the best LASIK results can be achieved only by using the best available laser technologies. His Vancouver laser eye surgery center features several of the latest surgical and diagnostic technologies, including the VISX Star S4 excimer laser system, the WaveScan technology and the IntraLase platform. Dr. King combines these devices to deliver highly individualized treatment plans.
Dr. King begins treatment by performing a series of eye exams. As part of this process, he uses the WaveScan device to create a 3-D map of the cornea. This map reveals even the smallest imperfections in the corneal shape, which are responsible for the patient's nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. Dr. King uses this map to program the VISX Star S4 excimer laser platform, which he uses to deliver the laser treatment. However, before the excimer laser energy is applied onto the cornea, Dr. King must create a corneal flap. While many surgeons use a mechanical blade to accomplish this task, Dr. King employs an IntraLase laser, which creates a thinner, more uniform flap than can be created with a mechanical blade. As a result, his Vancouver laser eye surgery patients enjoy better overall outcomes and enhanced vision at nighttime.
Compassionate Patient Care
Dr. King and his medical team understand that many patients who come to their laser eye surgery Vancouver offices feel uneasy about undergoing surgery. Eyesight is a precious gift, and most people feel apprehensive about any surgical manipulations of the eye. In order to relieve their anxiety and promote relaxation, Dr. King and his team carefully explain every step of the LASIK procedure. They also encourage their patients to ask questions and raise any concerns they might have. As a past LASIK patient himself, Dr. King understands that thorough patient preparation is a key part of a successful LASIK surgery.
