Seattle EYECARE SERVICES

Young Adult 18-50

LASIK is an excellent option for many younger adults seeking to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. For individuals with higher prescriptions or thinner corneas, EVO ICL™ provides a reversible alternative by placing a corrective lens inside the eye without reshaping the cornea.

If reading glasses have become unavoidable, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) can replace the aging natural lens with a premium implant customized to your vision goals. Many patients gain freedom from glasses while also preventing cataracts from developing later on.

RELIABLE LASIK SURGERY IN Seattle

Here a few reasons why the King name remains the gold standard for LASIK eye surgery in Seattle:

THE LATEST LASER TECHNOLOGY

Staying up-to-date with the use of the cutting edge in laser surgical tools should be paramount for any practice that doesn’t want to get left behind when a new laser makes LASIK safer and more effective.

King LASIK Seattle office features the WaveFront analyzer, which creates a 3-D map of the cornea that shows even the smallest imperfections. This map is used to calibrate the excimer laser, which in turn gently reshapes the outer layer of the cornea (the clear outer part of the eye). King LASIK utilizes the advanced VISX Star S4 excimer laser platform, which provides extremely precise laser treatments.

Dr. King and Dr. Fillmore also use the advanced IntraLase femtosecond laser. This device is a special laser used to create the corneal flap (a small slit in the outermost layer of the cornea). IntraLase eliminates the need to use a mechanical handheld device when creating the corneal flap. As a result, the risk of flap-reduced complications is significantly reduced.

CUSTOMIZED LASIK TREATMENTS

We’re able to achieve the best outcomes for our LASIK patients by customizing our procedures to the unique needs and treatment goals of each patient. Some practices approach LASIK as a “one size fits all” procedure, because it’s so simple, but there are unique considerations that go into performing laser eye surgery on someone with nearsightedness, for example, that aren’t quite the same when treating a patient with farsightedness or astigmatism.

Part of the way we provide the industry’s best LASIK surgery is by making sure we talk to our patients about their vision history, perform an eye exam in our office, and make sure to approach the prospect of performing LASIK eye surgery from every angle to ensure safety and efficacy.

THE BENEFITS OF LASIK

The benefits of LASIK are substantial and fairly straightforward. Here are some of the key benefits to our surgery, straight from testimonials from past patients who have had the experience of our life-changing corrective vision procedure.

MAKE CORRECTIVE EYEWEAR A THING OF THE PAST
One of the best parts of LASIK is that most patients never have to worry about refractive vision issues ever again, or at least until eye issues associated with aging start to occur. While wearing glasses or contacts may not be a huge inconvenience to your life, it can be incredibly refreshing to see clearly without relying on eyewear.

There is also the issue of safety. While no solution to vision issues is “unsafe”, contact lenses pose more of a risk of infection and damage to the surface of the eye than LASIK, a procedure with minimal potential for complications. This is especially true when surgery is done without handheld tools, which is the case at King LASIK Seattle.

ENHANCE YOUR ABILITY TO ENJOY LIVING IN SEATTLE

Another report we get often from patients who have undergone LASIK in our office is that after the surgery, their ability to enjoy the place where they lived was increased instantly. Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest in general, is known for it’s natural beauty, and clear vision allows you to take in the full scope of the setting where you spend your time.

Hiking at Mount Rainier Park or Mount St. Helens is easier without worrying about your glasses fogging up from the moisture in the air, and clear vision enhances the experience of exploring the San Juan Islands, not to mention all of the associated wildlife viewing. The Space Needle provides breathtaking views of Seattle’s city center and beyond, and Pike Place Market is best taken in with clear eyes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LASIK

At King LASIK Seattle, we get a number of questions from patients interested in LASIK surgery with us. Here’s what you should know if you’re considering laser eye surgery in Seattle:

You’re considered a baseline candidate for LASIK if you:

  • Are at least 19 years of age
  • Have had a stable vision prescription for more than a year
  • Have been diagnosed with astigmatism, myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness)

Beyond these qualifications, we need to ensure that LASIK will be safe and effective based on other aspects of your eye. To do this, we take scans that give us clear pictures of both the topography and tomography of your cornea. This is done in a LASIK consultation at our Seattle eye center.

When you undergo a consultation, Dr. King and Dr. Fillmore will discuss the procedure and perform scans that determine your fitness as a candidate for LASIK. Assuming you’re a good candidate, the King LASIK team will set up a date for your laser eye surgery.

On the day of your LASIK treatment, we’ll do a final set of scans to program our cutting-edge surgical equipment, and then perform the surgery, which is quick and painless, lasting for an average of around 10 minutes. Once you leave, it will take about a day to recover, and you’ll be able to enjoy flawless vision for years!

The cost of LASIK varies based on the surgeons you use, the technology involved, and other factors unique to you as a patient, but there’s no doubt that LASIK surgery, when compared to the lifetime costs of corrective eyewear and supplies, is a sound investment.

Come into King LASIK for a consultation today and find out how easy it is to get 20/20 vision as the result of a procedure that’s surprisingly simple.

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with King LASIK! I was initially planning to have my LASIK done elsewhere, but last minute decided to see what other places were charging. Not only did my quote at King LASIK end up being more affordable, the consultation was overall a much more friendly, comforting, and informative visit than I had had at the other place. My partner and I both went ahead and booked our surgeries at King LASIK that day - and I’m so glad we did!
