CICOR Marketing

Ophthalmology Marketing

Help Patients Say Yes to Surgery. And Keep Referring Doctors Sending Them.

CICOR Marketing helps ophthalmology practices explain procedures clearly, turn consultations into scheduled surgeries and stay connected with referring doctors.

Why Ophthalmology Marketing Is Different

Surgery Is a Big Decision. Your Marketing Should Make It Clearer.

Few patients book eye surgery on impulse. A cataract patient may hear the news from their optometrist, then research lens options with an adult child who handles the details. A LASIK candidate compares surgeons, technology, price and financing for months. A glaucoma or retina patient is often referred and wants to know they are in the right hands.

That makes ophthalmology marketing two jobs at once. Patients and families need clear education on procedures, candidacy, recovery, insurance and costs, so they arrive at the consultation ready to decide. Referring optometrists and physicians need confidence that you communicate well, send reports promptly and return their patients for ongoing care.

CICOR Marketing builds both: procedure pages and campaigns that answer real questions, consultation follow up that respects the patient’s pace, and referral marketing that keeps your practice the first call.

CICOR Marketing helps ophthalmology practices explain procedures clearly, turn consultations into scheduled surgeries, and stay connected with the optometrists and physicians who refer their patients, with claims that respect FDA, FTC and HIPAA expectations.

Where Ophthalmology Marketing Stalls

The Problems We Fix, and What Changes

Consultations that do not convert. Follow up email and calls that answer common questions about candidacy, recovery and costs, so patients schedule when they are ready.

Premium lens options are confusing. Plain language pages and videos on lens options, what insurance typically covers and what costs extra, reviewed by your surgeons.

Refractive leads are price shoppers. Campaigns and pages focused on candidacy, technology, surgeon experience and financing, so leads arrive informed.

Referrals depend on a few relationships. A referral program with a dedicated page for doctors, easy referral forms and regular updates, tracked in a CRM.

Families cannot find what they need. Pages and FAQs written for caregivers, with clear next steps and contact options.

Compliance Comes First

Accurate Claims for High Stakes Decisions

Eye surgery marketing draws attention from regulators, and patients deserve accurate information. CICOR Marketing does not give legal or medical advice, and your surgeons approve every claim.

  • No guaranteed outcomes. The FDA and FTC have warned against refractive surgery ads that overstate results. We avoid “perfect vision” or “never wear glasses again” promises and describe risks and candidacy honestly.
  • Price advertising stated fully. If you advertise prices, we make sure the conditions and what is included are clear.
  • Device and lens claims accurate. We describe technology and lenses as approved and as your surgeons use them.
  • Patient stories with authorization. Testimonials and videos should appear only with signed authorization and “individual results vary” language.
  • Tracking tags reviewed. We audit pixels and analytics so patient information is not sent to ad platforms.

What Ophthalmologists Ask Us First

How do we turn more consultations into scheduled surgeries?2026-10-20T09:23:32-04:00

Most patients need time and answers. Clear education before the consult, follow up afterward that addresses candidacy, recovery and costs, and an easy way to schedule help patients decide at their own pace. We track consultations to scheduled procedures in a CRM.

How do we market to referring optometrists?2026-10-20T09:23:31-04:00

With a dedicated page for doctors, a simple referral form, prompt communication and regular updates. A CRM tracks which practices refer and how often, so you can strengthen those relationships.

What can we say in LASIK and cataract advertising?2026-10-20T09:23:30-04:00

Claims should be accurate and balanced. The FDA and FTC have warned against refractive ads that overstate results. We avoid guarantees, describe candidacy and risks honestly, and your surgeons approve every claim. CICOR Marketing does not give legal or medical advice.

How do we reach the adult children who help parents decide?2026-10-20T09:23:29-04:00

Write for them. Pages and FAQs for caregivers, videos they can watch with their parent and contact options for family members help them guide the decision.

How is ophthalmology marketing different from optometry marketing?2026-10-20T09:23:28-04:00

Ophthalmology marketing focuses on surgical decisions and referral relationships. Optometry marketing focuses on routine care and optical sales. We have a separate Optometry page for those practices.

Will AI tools recommend our practice?2026-10-21T06:15:38-04:00

Patients and families increasingly ask AI tools who to see for eye surgery. The AI Visibility Audit tests those questions across five AI platforms and shows who gets named instead.
