Dr. Helen Kim, OD

Dr. Helen Kim joined Roosevelt Vision in 2019. Her main interests are in myopia management, specialty contacts and medical care for all ages. Dr. Kim has two young children who she started on myopia management early so they can be more independent from glasses and contacts as adults. She also has a personal interest in specialty contacts since she has been wearing them from a young age.

Dr. Kim originally grew up in the mid-west in Chicago, Illinois but has lived and worked on the Westcoast for most of her life. She attended the University of Washington where she graduated with a Major in Cell and Molecular Biology and a Minor in Medical History and Ethics. She also received her Doctorate in Optometry with Honors from the University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry. After graduating, she worked at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Tacoma, Washington where she served veterans and worked in private practices in Seattle and Portland, Oregon before joining Roosevelt Vision.

Dr. Kim has been an active member of the American Optometric Association (AOA) and Optometric Physicians of Washington (OPW). She has interest in providing vision and medical care internationally as she did in Mexico and Honduras through Volunteers of Optometric Services to Humanity (VOSH International).

Dr. Kim and her husband are grateful to call Seattle home raising their children and honored to be part of the community.
