“They have the same distribution of refractive error as any other group, meaning more than half of them are potential LASIK candidates. “The 22- to 28-year-old age group is the fastest-growing and largest group of potential LASIK customers in the country,” says Mike Malley, of CRM Marketing in Houston, which designs refractive marketing strategies for 35 practices. Though 35- to 42-year-old patients are still the most common group that gets LASIK, industry experts say it’s time to address millennials. Surgeons now have to keep their eyes on a new demographic, even if its constituents aren’t clamoring for LASIK right now. Surgeons and refractive surgery marketing experts say that the LASIK market has changed since the procedure’s inception. Here’s a look at how you can reach today’s candidates. Though experts agree the 2008 economic recession has had a lot to do with stagnant LASIK volumes, they also say there are still some steps you can take both inside and outside of your practice that can help capture more LASIK candidates as the overall economy recovers. It did no better than adjusting a contrast slider.Īmong the many other failings of this software, it dumps all these little 4k png files onto your HD.For several years now, following a significant decrease in the 2008 to 2009 time period, LASIK volumes have been flat, leaving surgeons casting about for new ways to reach patients and boost their practices’ LASIK conversion rates. I tried a variety of images, and just for kicks I blurred a black and white check pattern in photoshop just to see if the app could fix it. I, too, spent a few hours (Most of it waiting for "processing") and I still didn't get results that were anything like advertised. It took you HOURS to figure out how to use a tool that you spent quite a bit of money on, and you're happy with that? Ridiculous. The interface is awful, the user documentation is minimal, the app runs slow, and the results are no better than Photoshop's sharpening tools.Ĭonsider the positive review here where the user said they spent a few hours figuring out how to use the software. It makes me wonder if anyone at MacUpdate vets the software before throwing it into a bundle. But a great tool.īought the last MacUpdate bundle in part for this app. Interface isn't intuitive and the documentation probably needs more fleshing out. Man oh man it's now become my go-to tool for saving a soft picture. Most of the time I'm lazy and just apply it to the whole picture. When you have what you want, you back out, choose the sharpen in the right column, and brush it in. Once you zero in on a look, you explore around with your keyboard arrow keys until you have just the right amount of sharpening. Click a dot and it shows you the sharpening with that effect. You choose a picture, you double click in a critical area, and then you get this screen of dots. So I sat down with the software and gave it a try. Then I had a bad shoot that I could not afford to have go wrong. Every time I launched it out of desperation and I just didn't have the patience to sit with it and figure out how to make it work. I also bought this software as part of a bundle or deal of some kind and didn't pay more than half price.
