LASIK Uptick During A Pandemic

The surge in “LASIK surgeon near me” Google searches have made it the top trend related to LASIK during this pandemic period that we’re currently in.

That’s because more and more people want to capitalize on the extended free time and have LASIK at their utmost convenience for a better quality of life.

During this Pandemic stretch since March:

• Google searches for “LASIK surgeon near me” have increased 70%
• People sharing that LASIK as the “best decision” they’ve ever made are up
• Patients recommending LASIK to others is up 26%
• Mentions of “I got LASIK” are up 27%

Word of mouth has started to increase with many happy LASIK patients taking to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to share their personal experiences, what LASIK feels like, and what the post op period is really like.  They are providing ‘an inside look’ into the LASIK procedure for everyone who is interested and struggling with their contact lenses or glasses.

People who shared their life-changing LASIK experiences are really helpful to patients that are on the fence about laser vision correction surgery.

These conversations on social media have increased positivity and increased interest in LASIK.

Last August, a renowned eye magazine explored the demand in LASIK as practices were reopening amid the pandemic.  They found in their preliminary analysis of their consumer data that there was indeed interest in potential laser vision correction patients which denotes that there is soon to be a likely uptick in LASIK.
