June 2020 eye surgery Google search queries finished at approximately 16% (glaucoma),  22% (LASIK), and 32% (cataract) higher than May numbers (Chart 1). These figures are even stronger when you see that top-of-the funnel search queries related to awareness and information seeking increased significantly in late June. This indicates that new searchers are coming back online, especially in the cataract and glaucoma segments. The key early-opening markets of Texas, Florida, Arizona also rebounded strongly in the past week to finish June with strong month-over-month growth after a significant drop the week ending June 20 (Chart 2).  Florida and Arizona saw strong cataract search volume growth when compared to May while Texas showed a small decline in June cataract searches while still maintain strong growth in LASIK and glaucoma search volume. Finally, the significant state-by-state variances in eye surgery related search volume diminished by the end of June. The search volume increase heat map on Chart 3 shows a more constant color distribution versus one month ago. U.S. eye care consumers overall appear to be searching and acting in a less regionally diverse manner than at any time since the onset of COVID-19. This is good news for ophthalmic companies and eye surgeons.   To see more and learn about ophthalmology trends, attend our Ophthalmology Technology Summit and learn more [here](https://octaneoc.org/ophthalmology-technology-summit/). ![Screen Shot 2020-07-02 at 4.13.33 PM](https://blog.octaneoc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202020-07-02%20at%204.13.33%20PM.png?width=400&name=Screen%20Shot%202020-07-02%20at%204.13.33%20PM.png) *Chart 1:   Eye Surgery Related Google Search Queries* *  June 2020 vs May 2020 (% Change)* ![Chart 2-Jul-02-2020-10-32-56-85-PM](https://blog.octaneoc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Chart%202-Jul-02-2020-10-32-56-85-PM.png?width=400&name=Chart%202-Jul-02-2020-10-32-56-85-PM.png) *Chart 2:   State-By-State Google Eye Surgery Search Query Trends* *Texas, Florida, Arizona (Week Ending 6.27.20)* **![Chart 3-3](https://blog.octaneoc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Chart%203-3.png?width=400&name=Chart%203-3.png) ** *Chart 3:   State-By-State Google Eye Surgery Query Trends* *May 2020 vs. June 2020* [![Get Notifications Each Week on Search Insight](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5246191/e424cc82-72ff-4446-928f-8d4e83e26bdb.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5246191/e424cc82-72ff-4446-928f-8d4e83e26bdb)   Share on LinkedIn [![LinkedIn-Logo](https://blog.octaneoc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/LinkedIn-Logo.png?width=30&name=LinkedIn-Logo.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A//blog.octaneoc.org/octane-eye-surgery-online-consumer-snapshot-july-3-2020&title=&summary=&source=)   ### Related Categories [Ophthalmology](https://blog.octaneoc.org/tag/ophthalmology) ### [Octane and Brado](https://blog.octaneoc.org/author/octane-and-brado) Popular [Start Up](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/start-up) [Business Resource](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/business-resource) ## [Why Brand Strategy Is So Important For Startups](https://blog.octaneoc.org/why-brand-strategy-is-so-important-for-startups) [Read more](https://blog.octaneoc.org/why-brand-strategy-is-so-important-for-startups) Popular [Business Resource](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/business-resource) ## [The Importance of a Human Capital Management Strategy](https://blog.octaneoc.org/the-importance-of-a-human-capital-management-strategy) [Read more](https://blog.octaneoc.org/the-importance-of-a-human-capital-management-strategy) Popular [Orange County](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/orange-county) ## [City of Hope: Advancing World-Renowned Cancer Treatment and Research in Orange County](https://blog.octaneoc.org/city-of-hope-advancing-world-renowned-cancer-treatment-and-research-in-orange-county) [Read more](https://blog.octaneoc.org/city-of-hope-advancing-world-renowned-cancer-treatment-and-research-in-orange-county) ## Accelerate Your Capital Funding Strategy LaunchPad is a Top-5 SBDC in the nation, offering pro-bono expertise help you prepare to raise capital.  [Apply to LaunchPad SBDC](https://info.octaneoc.org/launchpadapply) ### Let Us Know What You Thought about this Post.
