FAQ
Common Questions
How should a refractive surgery page handle risk?
Openly. Patients trust practices that explain suitability and possible complications clearly, and they distrust pages that only promise freedom from glasses.
Is a free assessment offer a good idea?
It can be, if it is accurate and allowed under the rules where you practice. We treat it as an offer to assess suitability, not a promise of surgery.
Can we advertise this on social media?
Platforms restrict some health advertising. We plan content within each platform's policy and your regulator's rules.
