What Is LASIK?
If you’re tired of wearing glasses all the time or struggle with contact lenses, LASIK may be the solution for you! LASIK is a safe and effective laser eye surgery that’s known for its track record of success and quick recovery time. This procedure can improve your vision and can lessen or even eliminate your need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses!
LASIK Vs. Contacts & Glasses
LASIK is an incredibly safe surgery — in fact, it’s one of the most common surgeries performed on eyes today! And thanks to advancements in technology, it’s also more cost effective than it has ever been before. There are three huge benefits to choosing LASIK or refractive surgeries over contacts or glasses:
THE LIFETIME
COST
The lifetime cost of eyewear is typically thousands of dollars more expensive than the one-time cost of LASIK.
SAFETY
LASIK is a safe procedure and helps you avoid some risks that come from long-term wear of contact lenses.
TIME SAVING
You’ll ultimately save yourself a lot of time without the need to update your eyeglass prescriptions or put contacts in.
How Does LASIK Eye Surgery Work?
During LASIK surgery, our team uses a state-of-the-art laser to reshape your cornea. This reshaping helps correct your sight by allowing light to hit your retina properly. Not everyone is a good fit for this procedure, and our experts will determine if LASIK, PRK, or another refractive surgery is best for your unique vision needs during a consultation.

TESTIMONIALS
I had Lasic and they said next day it's going to be 20/20 but it's been 7 days and still not perfect.. yet. But I believe when it's fully healed I'll have 20/20.
The people who work there are wonderful and I will explain and answer all your questions. Dr. King is great and reached out with text message in evening of procedure to make sure that everything was okay.
In the end I recommend this place, just don't panic if results are not immediate as promised.

From my initial visit I have been very pleased with King LASIK. The people at the Lynnwood office were very helpful, inviting, and comforting in my decision and having laser eye surgery. I have been very hesitant to have surgery since they are my eyes. The clinic in Lynnwood gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. They did talk a lot about monovision which I decided against and I am very glad that I did because my vision is exceptional. If in 10 years I need readers so be it. But I am glad that I went with 100% correction today.
On surgery day I was a little nervous as you can imagine. Driving to Renton, over an hour, not a pleasant experience, but upon arriving wonderful staff greeted me and again went over all the necessary required details for the surgery day. Again a very welcoming staff. Extremely informative staff. I felt very at ease, as much as you can be on a surgery day.
After going over all measurements again. Time for the surgery.
One of the things I really like about the actual procedure, was the nurse or doctor's assistant who kept me informed throughout the surgery. She let me know how long something would take - 5 seconds or 10 seconds. And pretty much made sure I knew what was going on for the entire 11 minutes surgery. Because again it is very scary to have somebody suctioning your eye and then lasering it. I found that person to be very helpful in settling my nerves and making sure I knew what was going on for the procedure.
After the procedure the drive home I will tell you now bring a box of Kleenex. My eyes and nose were running copiously. After all, they did just experienced an extreme trauma so it is a given. But nonetheless make sure you're prepared for the eye watering and nose running. And I mean lots lots lots of watering and nose running for 2-3 hours. When I arrived home I did as the staff informed me to do and that was take a nap. My eyes were stinging therefore kept watering for another 2 hours. I rested with my eye goggles on, super sexy goggles I will have you know. After about three hours my eyes stop stinging, stop watering and my nose stopped running. My vision was a little cloudy, but that is again expected as I did just have laser eye surgery. I rested for the rest of the day not doing a whole lot no computer no TV no phone (supposed to refrain from TV and monitors for 2-3 days). When I awoke in the morning I put my drops in as prescribed and noticed I had very good vision. My eyes were tired as if you were to be reading for a long time. They did not hurt. As the day went on I found it best to rest my eyes more frequently keep them hydrated and pretty much just be a calm little meditating person. Which is very difficult for me to do.
The day after the surgery I went in for my post-op check up, and the doctor said that my eyes were looking very well. My vision was exceptional.
One of the main drivers for me choosing King LASIK was the fact that they have satellite clinics for the post-op so you don't have to drive all the way back to Renton. Driving an hour and a half for a 10-minute appointment is an awful lot of time in a car. So having the convenience of driving 25 minutes down the street was a huge plus for me and of course my driver.
As the week progressed Friday and Saturday my eyes were very tired and dry of course. I kept putting the refresh drops in about every hour and I rested quite a bit because my eyes were very tired. Doing anything like television or looking at my phone was very straining so I refrained for most of it. I would go about a half hour of walking around to a half hour of sitting with my eyes closed.
Finally eyes felt good Sunday (not sure I could have gone back to work for 2-3 days - surgery Wednesday). Felt good enough to go out and about walking around as long as I had my hat and sunglasses on. After a couple hours out and about my eyes were very tired but felt good. About every 45 minutes I have been putting in restore drops to keep my eyes hydrated especially since it's warm and sunny ou

Does LASIK Hurt?
Not usually. Most patients get a mild oral sedative to put them at ease, and we also use anesthetic eyedrops, so patients will only feel some pressure — not pain!
