This release combines California Medical Board outpatient settings with source-reported ophthalmology specialties, national CMS-certified ambulatory surgical centers with a numeric ASC-11 or ASC-14 cataract measure, and the dated Illinois IDPH licensed-ASTC directory. The Illinois roster has no specialty or procedure field. Cataract reporting, ophthalmology labels, and regulator roster inclusion do not establish that LASIK, PRK, SMILE, or another refractive procedure is offered. Separately displayed Refractive Surgery Council figures are industry-published national LASIK averages, not listed-setting prices. Source fields remain separate and are not a safety or quality score. Map points use ZIP-area centroids. Verify decision-critical facts with CMS, the relevant regulator, accreditation agency, setting, and qualified clinicians.
Confirm the exact procedure and setting
A specialty label is broad. Ask whether the exact procedure is performed at the listed address and which entity holds the setting accreditation.
Verify surgeon and device separately
Check the physician’s active license and relevant board certification. Ask which laser or device is used, whether it is appropriate for your measurements, and who performs each part of care.
Read inspection evidence in context
Review dates, deficiencies, corrective actions, and later follow-up. Missing findings are not a guarantee of outcomes or suitability.
Get a candidacy and follow-up plan
Ask about corneal thickness and topography, dry eye, prescription stability, alternatives, enhancement policy, emergency coverage, total price, and long-term follow-up.
