Nationwide initiative pairs eligible college athletes with trusted LASIK surgeons and a compliant, content-first partnership model
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / LASIK.com today unveiled its Collegiate Athlete NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) Program, a new pathway for student-athletes to pursue modern LASIK through partnerships centered on authentic storytelling, safety, and NCAA/state compliance. The program invites college athletes to document their LASIK journey-from candidacy consult to post-treatment experience-while educating teammates and fans about the benefits of modern laser vision correction.

"College athletes juggle intense schedules on and off the field. This program is designed to make their day-to-day a little simpler-less time dealing with contacts or glasses, more time focused on class and competition-while giving them a platform to share what modern LASIK is really like," said a LASIK.com spokesperson.
How the program works
The initiative follows a streamlined, three-step path: (1) athletes submit a brief application, (2) qualified applicants receive an NIL offer and schedule an in-center consultation to confirm candidacy, and (3) if medically appropriate, they proceed with treatment and finalize partnership paperwork.

Built-in safeguards for compliance and care
LASIK.com's framework requires disclosure to each athlete's school compliance office, prohibits any compensation tied to on-field performance, and mandates FTC-compliant disclosures (e.g., ad, sponsored). Medical guardrails include a free in-center candidacy exam (18+), surgeon approval prior to any procedure, and adherence to post-treatment care. Athletes are encouraged to schedule procedures in the offseason; all protected health information is handled in line with HIPAA and shared publicly only with explicit consent. LASIK.com Official Site
Content and compensation
Partnerships are content-first. Typical deliverables include a short pre-treatment video, day-of treatment experience clips, a post-treatment review, and simple athlete B-roll, with in-feed and Stories posts and permission for LASIK.com to run ads built from the creator's footage. Compensation varies by social reach; at minimum, approved partners receive a significant discount, and in some cases, a fully covered treatment. LASIK.com Official Site
