King LASIK - Seattle North

Jeannie Nieman

Review of Lasik See all the benefits 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

I finally got it done! I was, understandably, nervous to get Lasik. However Doctor King and his staff really made it an easy decision. They prepare you and ensure you are well informed. I was able to see 20/15 the next day, and my new night vision makes me feel like a super hero! I felt completely back to normal in just two weeks and no more glasses and contacts! Highly recommended.

amazing place. I went on a Wednesday to get consulted and got the surgery on Saturday. Friendly staff and Dr. King explained all the risks and clearly laid out which procedure was best for my eyes. I was able to see 20/20 the next day. Best investment of my life. Definitely recommend anyone to come here. Followup appointments were easy.

King LASIK made the process comfortable and easy. They have great people to work with at every step. Dr. King is the best! I can now see 20/15 after my surgery. I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long to finally make the decision to get LASIK.
