Why does Instagram work for this trade?
LASIK is an under-30 purchase, and the entire research journey for it happens here in saved posts and story replies.
Who you are reaching here
Two separate crowds. Over-55s and the adult children arranging their cataract surgery, and 18 to 30 year olds researching LASIK before a job or a wedding. Plus diabetics who were told to get their eyes checked and did not.
What holds this trade back
Diabetic patients arrive after the damage is permanent, because nothing hurt until the vision went.
What does Instagram want from a eye specialist account?
Your themes stay the same everywhere; what changes is the shape they take here. 3 Reels a week plus a monthly story Q&A — and each of these translates into a different kind of Instagram post.

Safed motia, kala motia
Cataract versus glaucoma in one minute, showing what each looks like from inside the eye
- 02
Sugar and your eyes
A diabetic retina at year five versus year fifteen, side by side
- 03
Glasses, screens and children
Your child sits too close to the TV. What that actually means

LASIK, without the sales pitch
Five people who should not have LASIK, and why we send them home
How does Instagram decide who sees a post?
Instagram now ranks heavily on sends — how many people share your post into a DM or a WhatsApp group. Saves come next, then watch time on Reels. Likes barely register any more. Reels reach people who do not follow you; feed posts and carousels mostly reach people who already do, which is why you need both. The words in your name field, bio and captions are searchable, so putting 'bridal makeup Islamabad' in the name field does more than thirty hashtags.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

Should eye clinics be anywhere else?
Instagram first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 4 posts a week, one patient story every fortnight | Cataract patients and the sons and daughters arranging their surgery are almost entirely on Facebook, in Urdu. | |
| YouTube | #2 | 2 videos a month, 8 to 12 minutes | Anyone facing eye surgery watches it happen first, and one calm complete surgery explainer converts better than any advert. |
| TikTok | #3 | 3 videos a week | Short vision facts and the motia explainer travel fast to exactly the age group that ignores check-ups until something goes wrong. |

Instagram questions from eye clinics
Is Instagram actually worth it for eye clinics?
LASIK is an under-30 purchase, and the entire research journey for it happens here in saved posts and story replies. We would rank it number 4 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 3 reels a week plus a monthly story q&a.
How often should a eye specialist business post on Instagram?
3 Reels a week plus a monthly story Q&A. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should eye clinics be on Instagram before anything else?
No. Facebook comes first for eye clinics — Instagram is number 4 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a eye specialist account gets wrong on Instagram?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Diabetic patients arrive after the damage is permanent, because nothing hurt until the vision went. That is what your Instagram posts should be answering, in 3 reels a week plus a monthly story q&a
What does it cost to have someone run my Instagram account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For eye clinics we usually recommend Growth at PKR 35,000. Two audiences need two formats: long Urdu video for cataract families and short Reels for LASIK enquiries. Growth funds both, plus the SEO that keeps a surgery explainer findable for years.
