Laser Eye Surgery and iLASIK at King Vision
Dr. King specializes in Blade-Free LASIK.
Dr. King and his dedicated team of eye surgeons perform the modern iLASIK procedure, which has been approved by NASA to correct the vision of its astronauts. iLASIK, also known as all-laser LASIK, combines the bladeless IntraLase laser with wavefront-guided measurements and excimer laser technology to provide customized LASIK treatments. This technique reduces the risks associated with the surgical methods of traditional LASIK while fostering precision, safety and patient comfort.
Dr. King and the King Vision team firmly believe that a tailored vision correction that is safe and comfortable is vital to ensuring the best outcome for each patient. King Vision's unsurpassed surgical record and extensive experience have earned the practice a reputation for helping LASIK Victoria patients and those throughout Western Canada gain independence from prescription vision correction.
Cataract Surgery at King Vision
King Vision eye surgeons also offer cataract surgery and have helped many cataract patients throughout Western Canada achieve clearer vision. Cataract surgery at King Vision is performed using the "no-stitch" technique and premium intraocular lens implants (IOLs). Sophisticated IOLs such as AcrySof ReSTOR and Crystalens allow patients to achieve enhanced vision at most distances, often foregoing the need for traditional eyewear. IOLs can also be used to correct presbyopia, an age-related condition that affects the focusing power of the eye, reducing its ability to focus on near objects.

What Do Patients Say About King Vision?
"It's amazing how a few minutes completely changed my life! My fear was that my profession in dermatology is very visually oriented and after talking with Dr. King at King Vision, I was educated about the technology that LASIK was possible for my vision. Clear vision is priceless and that's why I chose Dr. King to perform LASIK for me." — Stephanie Traut, Dermatologist
"I've been wearing glasses and contacts for 15 years. My poor vision was very frustrating and I was tired of relying on contacts and glasses. Dr. King and the staff at King Vision made me feel relaxed and confident about the LASIK Procedure. It was much easier than I expected! The day after, I had clear 20/15 vision and no pain. Recovery is so quick! The only thing I regret...is that I didn't do it SOONER." — Gillian Foote, Radio Personality
"King Vision is the place to go for LASIK. King Vision uses NASA and Naval Aviator approved Blade-FREE Intralase LASIK. What if you move your eye? Well, they offer a tracking system on their lasers that automatically shuts off if your eye is off track. Trust your eyes to King Vision." — Adam Carolla, Radio and TV Personality
"Having clear eye sight is amazing to me. I see better now than I did with contacts. I always had dry eyes and was uncomfortable with contacts in and I didn't like the look or feel of glasses. I am excited about how my upcoming season will go with ‘new eyes.' I wish I had done this years ago. My wife had it done a month before and loved it, so when I came in for my free consultation, I was sold." — Dan Dickau, NBA Player
