Who is the most challenging group to convert for vision correction?
We recently had a great conversation on LinkedIn that I wanted to invite you to join: Who would you say is the most challenging group to convert for vision correction?
I’ve got my opinion. From a commercial standpoint, I think it’s the 40–45-year-old myopes. They’re not quite presbyopic yet, but they hesitate because they fear losing their ability to read up close after treatment.
I’m curious—what do you think? How do you approach this group in your practice?

LiveseySolar completely transformed the way we were approaching this… We’ve gone from having just the dream of having a practice to having a practice up and running with people making inquiries and booking for procedures… It’s extremely pleasing. We feel lucky we connected with LiveseySolar.

I’m the co-founder & CEO of LiveseySolar. I’ve developed powerful eye surgery marketing systems that increase patient volumes and profits for doctors, clinics, and hospitals, since 1997.
Rod and Laura know as much about marketing surgery to patients as I know about performing it. They are an expert in the field of laser eye surgery marketing. They know this industry inside out. I believe that they could help many companies in a variety of areas including marketing materials, sales training and marketing support for doctors.
