Read MoreA pediatrician will typically be the first to notice a vision problem in your child during a wellness visit. Sometimes, these issues are caught during a school screening, while other times it can take years for parents to notice behaviors that indicate poor vision such as squinting.

Read MoreYour eye is a camera, and refractive surgery is like fixing the lens, but if there’s something wrong with the mechanics of your eyes, vision correction is typically not recommended. We perform a number of tests on all of our LASIK patients to ensure that you’re a good candidate for laser eye surgery.
LASIK may not be recommended if:
Dr. Kwang Kim attended the University of Iowa and earned his M.D. and Ph.D. through a combined degree program. He initially thought he would go into internal medicine as he went through the rigorous program, but during his clinical rotations, Dr. Kim realized how rewarding a career in ophthalmology could be.
