WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASIK?
Here are some of the ways patients have told us that their lives improved after receiving LASIK surgery at our Redmond eye surgery center:
EXPERIENCE SEATTLE IN VIVID CLARITY
The benefits of vision correction surgery are obvious but substantial. Not having to wear eyeglasses, worry about the cost of corrective eyewear, and enjoying the sights of Seattle clearly are just a few of the ways LASIK surgery will improve your life. 20/20 vision gives you the power to experience Seattle and the Pacific Northwest the way it was meant to be seen in all its natural beauty. From hiking and beach outings to exciting nightlife, Seattle has a lot to take in, and we at King LASIK want to help you enjoy your life with vision corrective surgery.
WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
LASIK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Like any procedure related to your health, you’re bound to have questions and concerns about the process of getting laser eye surgery. Here are the answers to some of the questions that we hear most often:
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASIK?
At King LASIK Tri-Cities, we consider you a baseline candidate for laser corrective eye surgery if you fit the following characteristics:
- You’re at least 19
- You’ve had a stable vision prescription for at least a year
- You’ve been diagnosed with astigmatism, myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness)
If these three conditions fit you as a patient, we’ll set up a LASIK consultation to explore the possibility of this life-changing surgery in a deeper way. First, we’ll do scans of your corneas to measure thickness and build a virtual map of your eyes. If your cornea is thick enough and our precise scans don’t find any conditions or imperfections that would present added risk during the LASIK operation, we’ll make sure you’re informed about LASIK and set up a time for the procedure to be done if that’s what you choose.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
With modern technology and a bladeless surgery (like the one offered at King LASIK Tri-Cities) your LASIK surgery will be quick, easy, and painless. Laser surgery typically takes about 10 minutes to complete, and after around a day of recovery time, you’ll be able to enjoy 20/20 vision from now on.
Other considerations with recovery from LASIK surgery:
- You may experience some discomfort for the next 12 to 24 hours
- You may be asked to use special eye drops
- Complications are rare but if you experience anything out of the ordinary, it can be easily treated
WHAT DOES LASIK COST?
There is no set cost for LASIK, but it is more expensive than wearing glasses or contacts. It’s a good investment, however, since after LASIK, costs associated with corrective eyewear and accessories will usually drop to zero.
Many patients want to know if LASIK is covered by their insurance. While some vision policies may cover it or partner with LASIK surgeons for discounts, it typically is regarded as an “elective” procedure by insurers, and as such, not covered.
WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN A LASIK SURGEON?
The ideal laser eye surgeon has experience, access to the latest surgical equipment, and is able to put patients at ease by explaining each and every step of a LASIK surgery. At King LASIK Tri-Cities, our
