All About Vision® Celebrates 250,000
Online LASIK Evaluations

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., July 6, 2005 — More than 250,000 consumers interested in LASIK have taken advantage of All About Vision's online LASIK evaluation since the feature was launched in August 2002.

The 250,000 milestone for the "Am I a Candidate for LASIK?" feature was reached last week. The online screening has averaged about 2,300 users per week this year, and more than 100,000 evaluations are expected to be conducted in 2005.

The All About Vision LASIK evaluation asks participants a series of questions and instantly generates a personalized report. The report educates prospective patients about factors that might disqualify them as a LASIK candidate, or factors about which more information is needed to determine candidacy. Of course, the online LASIK evaluation is limited to criteria that can be addressed over the Web, and visitors are encouraged to see their eye care practitioner for a thorough evaluation.

"Am I a Candidate for LASIK?" is one feature of All About Vision's LASIK & Vision Surgery section, which includes 24 articles and interactive features about LASIK and other refractive eye surgeries. The section includes "Ask the LASIK Surgeon," which enables consumers to pose questions to a panel of prominent surgeons and receive a personal e-mail response within 72 hours.

All About Vision is a one-stop, independent resource providing consumers with more than 450 pages of information on eye health and vision correction options. The site is expected to serve more than six million unique visitors in 2005.
