THE BENEFITS OF LASIK

Why should you speak set up a LASIK consultation with King LASIK? Because the benefits of getting LASIK speak for themselves. Here are just a few of the ways your life can be improved with quick and easy laser eye surgery.

LASIK ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR GLASSES OR CONTACTS

The need to wear glasses or contacts at all times will never be as convenient as simply not needing them. Most patients that have LASIK done enjoy 20/20 vision for years, meaning that purchasing glasses or making sure you have a supply of contacts will be a thing of the past after having surgery with the doctors at King LASIK.

We also get frequent questions about the long-term safety of LASIK as compared to wearing contacts. Successful LASIK is safer than wearing contacts, because complications are rare and easily treatable immediately after surgery. With contacts, you’re touching plastic or polymer materials to the surface of your eye, which can make it easier to contract infections.

YOU’LL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS AGAIN

One of the most impactful ways that LASIK changes the lives of patients like you in the North Portland area is that you’ll find it easier than ever to enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors in our beautiful region.

There are a variety of outdoor activities that become more enjoyable after LASIK. Take a stroll through Washington Park and enjoy the International Rose Test Garden or Japanese Garden. Walk or jog along the Willamette Waterfront. Stop for some shopping at the Saturday Market. If you’re an animal lover, check out the Oregon Zoo. Explore the grounds of Pittock Mansion and its beautiful view of the Portland skyline.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LASIK

If you’re considering LASIK with Dr. King and the team at King LASIK, it’s understandable that you might have a few concerns about what to expect. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we get at our Portland South LASIK practice:

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR LASIK?

You’ll be at least be a probable LASIK candidate if you fit the following conditions:

  • You’re at least 19 years of age
  • You’ve been diagnosed with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
  • You’ve had a prescription for 12 months with no changes

When you schedule a LASIK consultation with the team at King LASIK Portland South, we’ll be able to tell you definitively if you meet the criteria to be a candidate for LASIK, primarily, by scanning and shape and structure of the cornea to ensure that LASIK wouldn’t present any additional risk to your vision or eye health.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT ON THE DAY OF THE SURGERY?

When you arrive at our South Portland LASIK eye center on the day of your procedure, you’ll check in and undergo final scans to ensure that laser corrective surgery is right choice for you. The procedure itself takes about 10 minutes, and after we’re done, you’ll need about a day to recover before living a life with perfect, 20/20 vision.

HOW MUCH DOES LASIK COST?

One of the most common questions we receive from potential Portland LASIK patients is, “How much is LASIK surgery?” The cost of the procedure varies, depending on factors such as the specific technology used. For example, King LASIK uses the latest technology and premium lasers. It’s difficult to provide patients an accurate pricing quote without meeting you, evaluating your specific vision needs, and determining a plan of treatment. We can discuss your LASIK surgery costs with you during a one-on-one consultation after learning more about you and your goals of treatment.

HOW CAN I FIND THE BEST LASIK SURGEON?

There are many surgeons who can perform LASIK procedures, but few with the combination of experience, expertise, bedside manner, and access to the latest surgical equipment to give you peace of mind you deserve throughout laser eye surgery.

Fortunately, Dr. King, Dr. Fillmore, and the staff at King LASIK South Portland can check all these boxes and will provide a simple, painless, and quick path to better vision.
