When your customer acquisition cost is already high from paid ads and local SEO spend, every missed or slow-answered inquiry call compounds that loss.

They compare femtosecond laser technology, wavefront-guided correction, topography-guided treatment options, and price per eye across multiple providers. That means long decision cycles requiring multiple touchpoints — a lead who asked about pricing six months ago may be ready to book today, but only if someone follows up.

The industry learned this lesson painfully: when LVC prices dropped from $1,900-$2,100 per eye to about $1,600 between 2000 and 2002, the category lost $1.7 billion in revenue and refractive surgeons lost an average of $335,000 in net income (CRST).
