Comparing relative search volumes (RSV) of the search terms ''LASIK'', ''eye laser'' and ''cost of eye laser'' between 2004 and 2020 in Germany. X-Axis: Time (Month/Year), Y-Axis RSV (0–100). Correlation between RSV for “costs of eye laser”, “eye laser” and estimated number of LASIK procedures over time in Germany (Statista.de). X-axis: Time (Year/Quarter), Y-axis: RSV of search term (× 1000), absolute estimated number of LASIK. Star shows statistically significant correlation.
