This staff is amazing! The office is so organized and the staff is so happy, cheerful. The staff and doctors were very transparent, knowledgeable and my husband and I were very aware of what to expect before and after surgery. We are two weeks after RLE surgery and are extremely pleased with the results thus far. Colors are so vibrant and clear. The surgery was completely painless and after wearing glasses for 40+ years, to be able to see and read without them is beyond words for me.

TLDR: If you’re still searching for a place to have corrective vision surgery, your search just ended. Dr. King and the team are incredible to work with—from the info-gathering stage through post-care. I was very anxious about many parts of corrective vision surgery. What was the right procedure for me? Was I even a good candidate? (Trust me, I had many, many questions for the staff.) How do I make sense of the cost? What should I expect afterward? Honestly, all of it felt overwhelming prior to their guidance. I could not be happier with the outcome or with my decision to entrust my vision to the entire team at the Vancouver, WA office. Seriously—wonderful job, guys!

Recently had my LASIK procedure done at King LASIK, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The staff are absolutely amazing — super friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel comfortable and confident. The procedure itself was quick and smooth, and the team explained everything clearly before and after. The post-op instructions were easy to follow, and I really appreciated how supportive everyone was throughout the whole process. If you’re thinking about LASIK — don’t hesitate. The team at King LASIK truly knows what they’re doing, and they treat you like family. Highly recommend!

I did the RLE LAL surgery yesterday and WOW! Day 2 and I am writing this review with NO glasses! Do yourself a favor and request Dr. Hamilton. He is the BEST! My only regret is that I did not do this sooner! This is an update 2 weeks later and I am still happy. The team at K2 is great. From the front desk staff up. Dr. Banales is terrific and has been super helpful. I still recommend this procedure! I had to update this review as I realized I forgot to mention the amazing Megan! Thank you so much Megan for always being willing to reschedule me and help with any little issues. I so appreciate you.

One of the best decisions that I’ve ever made! Is it spendy? Yes, it is but it is 100% worth every penny. The first evening after surgery, I knew I could see better than I ever had. 4 weeks later and after all my vision points have settled, I am seeing greater than 20/15 distance and all my midrange and close are great as well. The process is not entirely painless but it is totally tolerable - more aggravating than pain. They work to have your different vision points to be exactly what you want. I honestly could not be happier.

I would like to say that having the RLE light adjustable lens surgery has been a miracle for me. Since the age of 8, I've had to have my sight corrected and honestly couldn't remember what it was like to see without contacts or glasses. The staff is very caring and professional. They walk you through each step and you know what to expect. The surgery took literally 5 minutes per eye. When I left the office, I could see again! I've had one adjustment done and I'm now seeing 20/15 with distance and near vision. Before the surgery, I had to wear readers constantly with my contacts to even try to see my work computer. My vision was horrible and I had an astigmatism in the right eye. It's been a life-changing experience. If you've been contemplating having this done, do it! I promise you that you will not regret it. Thanks K2 vision, you've given me my sight and my freedom back! You are truly miracle workers!
