LASIK FAQs

How does LASIK correct astigmatism?
LASIK corrects astigmatism by gently reshaping the cornea—the clear front surface of your eye. Astigmatism is caused by an uneven curvature of the cornea, which can make vision blurry or distorted at all distances. During LASIK, a precise laser is used to smooth out those irregularities so light can focus more accurately on the retina at the back of your eye.

At King LASIK, we use advanced laser mapping and your past prescription data to customize every procedure. Whether you have mild or more significant astigmatism, we design your treatment to match your eye’s unique shape—often delivering crisp, clear vision without glasses or contacts.

Is LASIK permanent?
LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Once the cornea is adjusted, the improvements in your vision are designed to last. However, while LASIK corrects existing vision issues, it cannot prevent natural, age-related changes such as presbyopia, which can affect near vision beginning in your 40s or 50s. Dr. Joseph King and our team at King LASIK offer long-term support to help you maintain clear vision at every stage of life.
Does LASIK hurt?
No, LASIK is not painful. Before your vision correction procedure begins, anesthetic eye drops are applied to completely numb your eyes. Most patients feel only slight pressure during parts of the surgery. Afterward, you might experience mild irritation, dryness, or a gritty sensation — similar to having an eyelash in your eye — but these symptoms typically resolve within a day.
Is LASIK safe?
Yes, LASIK is considered very safe and effective. It has been FDA-approved and has helped millions of people worldwide achieve clearer vision. According to the American Refractive Surgery Council, fewer than 1% of patients experience serious complications. As with any surgical procedure, there are potential side effects, including temporary dry eyes, halos, glare at night, or mild light sensitivity. Choosing an experienced eye surgeon helps minimize risks and optimize your outcome.
What are the risks of LASIK?
While LASIK has an exceptional safety record, it’s important to understand potential risks. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, common side effects include:

  • Dry eyes
  • Nighttime halos or glare
  • Temporary double vision
  • Over- or under-correction
  • Light sensitivity
  • Corneal flap complications (rare)6

These risks are minimized by thorough pre-operative evaluations, advanced technology, and choosing a surgeon with extensive years of experience, like Dr. Joseph King.

When can I return to work after LASIK?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and normal activities the very next day after LASIK. However, your surgeon will give you personalized guidance based on your individual healing progress.
What results can I expect from LASIK surgery?
Prior to your procedure, your surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your eyes and provide a strong estimate of your expected outcome. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better after LASIK, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Does insurance cover LASIK eye surgery?
Because LASIK is considered an elective vision correction procedure, it’s not typically covered by insurance. However, many patients use HSA or FSA accounts to help pay for LASIK. King LASIK also offers affordable financing plans to make achieving clear vision more accessible.
How much does LASIK cost near me?
The cost of LASIK varies depending on your individual vision needs, the type of technology used, and your customized treatment plan. At King LASIK, we believe in transparent pricing and will review all costs with you during your consultation. We also offer flexible financing options and accept HSA/FSA funds to make LASIK more accessible. Whether you’re in Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, the Tri-Cities, Tacoma, or Scottsdale, we’re committed to helping you invest in clearer vision affordably.
