What It Means When You See the RSC Verified Seal
The Internet is an amazing resource. But can you trust it? The question is especially urgent when what you’re researching is something as precious as your eyesight.
Let’s say you’re looking into LASIK – either for yourself or for someone you care about. A Google search nets you nearly 40 million results, along with generative AI responses. You don’t need the most information, you need the right information – accurate, unbiased and up to date – so that you can decide if LASIK or other vision correction surgeries such as PRK, SMILE and ICLs, are right for you.
We’re here to help.
For more than a decade, the Refractive Surgery Council has been helping people make informed choices about their vision. In that time, we have amassed a huge library – independent, unbiased educational material, all of it scientifically valid. Our goal in creating it was to help you get the information you need to make informed decisions about laser vision correction.
Our library is also available to surgeons, media and patients. Information from the library can be found on a wide variety of independent health information websites. The RSC Verified seal is how you know you can be sure the information you are reading about LASIK and other vision correction surgeries such as PRK, SMILE and ICLs are authoritative and coming straight from the RSC.
RSC Verified Seal
The seal appears on all LASIK and refractive surgery information that comes from the RSC library. This is the material you can count on to guide you when you’re making a decision about LASIK and other laser vision correction procedures.
RSC Verified is legitimate. It’s relevant, too. RSC Verified material was created in response to the questions real people interested in vision correction are asking. The answers are founded in science and reviewed by our editorial advisory board comprised of the leading experts in the field (that’s what the “Verified” part means).
And because the Refractive Surgery Council keeps abreast of the latest in research and technology about laser vision correction, you can be confident the information represents today’s highest standard of care.
