Arthritis
Bellingham Bay Ophthalmology PLLC is proud to offer dry eye treatment for our patients. Ocular Surface Disease, also known as dry eye, can occur from certain medications, naturally by aging, or as a symptom arising from systemic diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, or Lupus. If you have a minor case of dry eye, you may be experiencing irritation, excessive tearing, fluctuating vision, and/or a burning sensation in your eyes. Excessive dry eyes, or dry eye symptoms that go untreated, have the potential to damage eye tissue, scar your corneas, and impair your vision.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Dr. Kim is also performing canaloplasty for patients with glaucoma who need lower intraocular (eye) pressures or who want to reduce their dependence on glaucoma eye drops/medications.
Ophthalmology
At Bellingham Bay Ophthalmology PLLC, we respect the dignity and independence of our guests and we are committed to providing full and equal access to everyone who visits our facility and website. Here’s what you can expect from us...
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them through the optic nerve from the eye to the brain for processing. The macula, or the center of the retina, is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye and controls our ability to see and process information.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis and is a popular surgery to correct vision problems. LASIK can help people who are nearsighted or farsighted, as well those who have astigmatism.
Cataracts
The surgery involves removal of your cataract and its replacement with a special implantable lens (intraocular lens). Dr. Kim is our cataract surgeon and specializes in no stitch, small incisional surgery. Dr. Kim will perform your operation at the Bellingham Ambulatory Surgery Center.
Cataract Surgery
A toric intraocular lens is a special lens that corrects for corneal astigmatism in order to provide clearer uncorrected distance vision after cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
Keratoconus can affect a person’s ability to read or drive, which can be a major obstacle for people. Luckily, this is a condition that can be diagnosed through a routine eye exam, which underscores the importance of scheduling regular eye exams for you and your children.

Internal Medicine
James M. Kim attended medical school at the University of Southern California, completed his internship in internal medicine at the UCLA- VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, and completed his residency in ophthalmology at the University of Southern California-Doheny Eye Institute in 2004. Dr. Kim is Board-Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He has been in practice since 2004. Dr. Kim is our cataract surgeon; he specializes in no-stitch, small incisional cataract surgery. Read the detailed cataract surgery information under the “Services” tab, which explains the different intraocular lens choices, including presbyopia- and astigmatism-correcting intraocular lenses, which may lessen the need for wearing glasses following cataract surgery. Dr. Kim is accepting new patients!
