The practice is led by Dr. Joseph King (250,000+ LASIK procedures) and Dr. Andrew Kopstein (60,000+ lens-based procedures), supported by Drs. Gary Fillmore and James Bailey, with a combined 100+ years of surgical experience. Its core technology stack includes the VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser with WaveScan wavefront imaging for customized corneal reshaping, the IntraLase femtosecond laser for bladeless flap creation, and the STAAR Surgical EVO ICL (FDA-approved 2022) Implantable Collamer Lens as a reversible, lens-based alternative.

The service portfolio spans LASIK and PRK (laser-based corneal reshaping, targeting adults 18-50), EVO ICL and Corneal Cross-Linking (for patients unsuitable for LASIK or seeking reversible options), and Refractive Lens Exchange and Cataract Surgery (delivered through the K2 Vision sub-brand for the 50-70 and 70+ segments). King LASIK uses a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model anchored by free in-person and virtual Zoom consultations, with promotional pricing ($1,000 off LASIK, $1,500 off EVO ICL), 0% APR financing, a $100-per-referral patient referral program, and content marketing across blog, podcast ("Eye Health Insights"), and social channels (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok). Procedures are elective and generally not covered by insurance; HSA/FSA funds are accepted. Revenue is one-time per procedure, with financing as a secondary stream, and the practice reports 3,000+ verified 5-star patient reviews and 350,000+ lifetime procedures across its network.

Revenue model

1. Laser Vision Correction Surgery (LASIK, PRK): One-time surgical fees for LASIK and PRK laser eye procedures. Pricing varies per eye based on prescription complexity and technology used. Financing available (0% APR, $0 down, up to 24 months). Patients pay upfront or through financing plans.
2. EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Procedures: Revenue from lens-based vision correction procedures. EVO ICL procedure fees include custom lens ordering (sized to the patient's eye), pre-op preparation, and the surgical placement. Most insurance plans classify EVO ICL as elective and do not cover it; HSA/FSA funds are generally applicable.
3. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) Procedures: RLE replaces the natural lens with a custom intraocular lens (IOL). This is marketed to patients aged 50+ and also prevents future cataract development. Provided through K2 Vision brand for older patient segments.
4. Financing and Payment Plans: King LASIK offers in-house and third-party financing (0% APR, $0 down, up to 24 months) to make procedures affordable for patients. Financing interest/fees represent a secondary revenue stream or cost recovered through patient payments.
5. Corneal Cross-Linking and Additional Procedures: Revenue from corneal collagen cross-linking (for keratoconus treatment) and other ancillary procedures. These are typically add-on or standalone treatments for specific patient conditions.

Products and services

• LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) A refractive eye surgery procedure that uses a precision laser to reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The bladeless all-laser procedure is typically completed in under 15 minutes per eye using IntraLase femtosecond laser for flap creation and VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser with WaveScan wavefront imaging for corneal reshaping. Offered to adult patients aged 18+ who are suitable LASIK candidates.
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) A laser eye surgery alternative to LASIK that removes the outer epithelial layer of the cornea to allow reshaping of underlying corneal tissue with an excimer laser. Recommended for patients aged 18+ with thin corneas who may not be suitable LASIK candidates.
• EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) An FDA-approved (2022) reversible implantable lens placed inside the eye between the iris and natural lens to correct moderate to high nearsightedness (up to -20.0D) and astigmatism (up to 4.0D) without touching the cornea. Made from Collamer material (collagen-derived) with built-in UV protection, and removable or exchangeable if vision needs change. Offered to adult patients aged 18+ who are not ideal LASIK candidates or prefer a reversible lens-based solution.
• Corneal Cross-Linking A procedure that strengthens the cornea by creating new collagen cross-links using riboflavin and ultraviolet light, used to treat keratoconus and other corneal ectatic disorders. Offered to adult patients aged 18+.
• Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) A surgical procedure that replaces the eye's natural lens with a custom intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision at multiple distances. Marketed to patients aged 50+ experiencing age-related vision changes such as presbyopia and as a means of preventing future cataract development. Provided through the K2 Vision sub-brand.
• Cataract Surgery An outpatient procedure that replaces a clouded natural lens with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL) using advanced diagnostics and premium lens options to reduce post-surgical glasses dependence. Marketed to patients aged 70+ experiencing cataract-related cloudy, dim, or blurred vision. Provided through the K2 Vision sub-brand.
