Education before the chair
Patients who understand their lens options before the consult convert higher and need less chair time. We build the content that does it.
The biggest revenue lever in a cataract practice isn't more evaluations — it's more patients choosing a premium lens. Denali builds the patient education that does the explaining before the consult, so more patients arrive ready to upgrade. Plus the SEO, ads, and web that keep evaluations full.
Most cataract patients arrive through medical channels. The opportunity isn't only more of them — it's helping more of them understand and choose the lens that fits their life.

Cataract surgery marketing has two jobs: bring in cataract evaluations through local SEO, ads, and referrals, and lift premium IOL conversion through patient education. Because cataract is insurance-adjacent, the biggest revenue opportunity is helping more patients understand and choose premium lens upgrades — so we build education funnels around that.
Premium IOL conversion is the percentage of cataract patients who upgrade from a standard lens to a premium one such as EDOF, trifocal, or light-adjustable. Because the upgrade revenue sits above insurance reimbursement, even a small lift in conversion can meaningfully increase practice revenue without adding a single new patient.
With patient education that does the explaining before the consult — videos, web content, and pre-visit materials that help patients understand their lens options and arrive ready to choose. This shortens chair time and lifts conversion, because the decision isn't being made cold in the exam lane.
LASIK is fully elective and cash-pay, so marketing focuses on demand generation and filling the refractive calendar. Cataract is insurance-adjacent, so the opportunity is premium IOL conversion through education. The funnels and metrics are different, and we build them separately. See LASIK marketing →
