TRI-CITIES LASER EYE CORRECTION

RELIABLE LASER EYE SURGERY IN THE TRI-CITIES AREA

Here are just a few reasons why Tri-Cities patients continue to trust King LASIK for precision eye surgery:

CUSTOMIZED EYE CARE

King LASIK vision correction centers employ only highly-experienced, dedicated nurses and support staff. The key benefit of having experienced staff at your side during every step of a LASIK procedure is that they build the surgery around your specific needs, in a customized way, using unique considerations that include:

• Age and eye health
• Eye scans (topography and tomography)
• In-office eye exams
• Patient history

They are able to explain all aspects of LASIK surgery, recognize and promptly address any complications that arise, and quickly respond to their patients’ deepest concerns. As a result, King LASIK boasts a high patient satisfaction rate and conversely, a very low rate of complications from laser eye surgery.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT LASIK, ANSWERED

If you’re considering LASIK, it’s only natural that you’ll have questions. LASIK can be a major investment, and many potential patients are apprehensive about the experience of having LASIK done. We provide answers to give you the information you need to make an informed decision about whether or not LASIK is right for you:

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:

• 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)

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.
