The USA
Eyes website and associated public services are
provided by the Council for Refractive
Surgery Quality Assurance (CRSQA). CRSQA is a nongovernmental, nonprofit,
tax exempt organization.
CRSQA requires fees collected from doctors we for whom we certify
patient outcomes. Initial patient outcome certification costs the
doctor $3,250. We reevaluate doctors quarterly. The quarterly recertification
fees are $1,250. We feel it is appropriate that certified doctors
participate in the funding of CRSQA's services.
CRSQA does not charge patients for services provided,
does not accept charitable contributions, and does not
accept commercial advertising All operating funds are derived from
patient outcome certification fees.
Surgeons do not pay CRSQA referral fees or a finder's fee for
patients who use CRSQA's
Locate Lasik Doctor service. We do not receive a payment for each
patient who uses a USAEyes Certified Lasik Doctor. We do not receive
a payment for each visit to a doctor's website from our website,
nor are we paid for each person who retrieves a doctor's information
from our website. There is no direct quid pro quo for patient activity.
There is virtually no direct financial incentive for a patient to
seek surgery or a particular doctor.
All members of CRSQA's governing Board of Trustees, advisory
committees, and even staff are volunteers who do not receive a
salary for their work and assistance.
There is no charge for the services USAEyes provides,
but anyone can "pay" for our help with their opinion. Let others
know about our organization's services by adding a link to USAEyes
on your own website and/or add a link in a blog or post on other
bulletin boards.
