Your Journey to Clearer Vision Starts Here
K2 Vision patients travel from Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Alaska, Nevada, Idaho, Montana and beyond to experience custom-tailored vision solutions from some of the most experienced refractive and lens-based surgeons in the country. With locations throughout The Pacific Northwest and Southwest, we make it easy to plan your visit and enjoy a seamless experience, from your first consultation to your post-procedure care.
Our team will help you schedule your procedure, arrange follow-up appointments, and provide the resources you need to make your trip simple, efficient, and rewarding.
Why Patients Travel to K2 Vision
People come to K2 Vision for one reason: freedom from glasses, readers, contacts, and cataracts. Our surgeons are among the most experienced in North America, offering procedures that help patients of all ages achieve clear, lasting vision.
What makes K2 Vision worth the trip:
- Renowned Surgeons: Our team includes Dr. Andrew Kopstein, Dr. Joseph King, Dr. Lorne Schlecht, Dr. Gary Fillmore, and Dr. Rex Hamilton, collectively performing hundreds of thousands of vision correction procedures with exceptional outcomes.
- Lens-Based Expertise: We specialize in Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), EVO ICL™, and advanced cataract surgery.
- Quick and Easy Procedure: Both Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) and EVO ICL procedures take only 5-10 minutes per eye.
- Office-Based Surgery: All our procedures are performed in-office, offering greater comfort, convenience, and efficiency rather than a hospital setting.
- Personalized Planning: Every treatment plan is customized to your eyes, vision goals, and lifestyle.
- Accessible Locations: With clinics across Seattle, Portland, Tri-Cities, Tacoma, Olympia, Vancouver, Everett, and Scottsdale/Phoenix, we make vision freedom more accessible than ever.
Planning Your Visit
Our goal is to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible, no matter where you start your travel. Many patients choose to arrive the day before their procedure and stay one night afterward before returning home.
Scheduling
Our team will help you select the ideal time for your consultation, procedure, and follow-up, often within the same visit.
