1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the website at lasik.ky (the "Site"), operated by [Legal name of person or company] ("LASIK.KY," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site.
2. General information only, not medical advice
The Site provides general educational information about LASIK and other vision-correction procedures. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
-
No doctor-patient relationship. Using the Site, reading our content, or contacting us does not create a doctor-patient or other professional relationship between you and us or any reviewer or contributor.
-
Your eyes are individual. Whether a procedure is appropriate for you can only be determined by a licensed eye care professional after an in-person examination.
-
Don't delay care. Never ignore or delay professional medical advice, or stop treatment, because of something you read on the Site.
-
Emergencies. If you have a medical emergency, such as sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, or an eye injury, call 911 or seek emergency care immediately. Do not use the Site or contact us for emergencies.
3. Accuracy of content, prices, and availability
We work to keep our content accurate and current, and many pages are reviewed by qualified professionals as noted on each page. However:
-
Medical knowledge, technology, and regulations change, and we can't guarantee that every page is complete or up to date.
-
Prices, promotions, and procedures offered by practices change frequently. Any prices shown are estimates or past observations, not quotes or offers. Confirm all details directly with the practice.
-
Statistics and ranges are general and may not reflect your situation.
If you find an error, please tell us at [hello@lasik.ky].
4. Practices, providers, and third-party content
The Site may mention or link to eye care practices, surgeons, manufacturers, organizations, and other third parties.
-
No endorsement. Mentioning a practice or provider is not an endorsement or recommendation, and it is not a guarantee of quality, price, or results. [Edit if you add a directory: explain whether listings are paid.]
-
You choose your provider. You are responsible for researching and choosing any provider, including checking their license, experience, and disciplinary history with the appropriate state board.
-
Third-party sites. We don't control and aren't responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party websites. Visiting them is at your own risk.

[Describe accurately, and have your attorney review any referral arrangement.]
6. Questions and information you send us
If the Site lets you submit questions, messages, or other information:
