LASIK Data Methodology: How LASIK Score Sources and Audits Listings

We aim for accuracy and transparency. Here’s how our directory stays trustworthy.

What we collect

• Facility info: name, sites, contact details, accreditation claims
• Surgeon info: names, credentials, and refractive focus as publicly disclosed
• Technology: diagnostic devices and laser platforms listed by the clinic
• Policies: enhancement windows, aftercare, financing options (when published)
• Pricing: quoted ranges and inclusions (per eye/both eyes; guidance modes)

Sources

• Clinic websites and published materials
• Direct phone/email verification for ambiguous details
• Patient‑submitted updates with documentation (screen captures, receipts)
• Public manufacturer lists (to cross‑check devices)

Validation workflow

1. Ingest and normalize data into structured fields
2. Run automated checks for missing fields, stale dates, and outlier values
3. Human review of flagged records and random spot checks
4. Re‑verification of critical fields (technology, enhancement policy, pricing basis)

Update cadence

• Rolling updates as clinics change technology or policies
• Periodic sweeps by metro to refresh pricing and contact details
• Timestamped “updated” fields in content to reflect last verification

Handling corrections

• Anyone can suggest an edit; we require a verifiable source.
• Submissions are queued for review; approved changes roll out in the next publish cycle.

Pricing notes

• We record whether quotes are per eye or both eyes and what’s included (pre‑op, aftercare, enhancements).
• We avoid using teaser ads without clear inclusions; such entries are flagged or excluded.

Limitations

• Clinics move fast; a listing may lag reality between sweeps.
• Not all clinics disclose complete details; some fields may remain unknown until confirmed.
• Patient experiences and outcomes vary; our directory does not substitute for medical advice.

Our goal is a readable, trustworthy directory that helps you ask better questions at your consults—and choose a clinic that fits your needs.
