Problem

Patients visiting the website for cataract, glaucoma, LASIK, and corneal care were struggling to navigate the site effectively. Clickstream data revealed that navigation was barely being used, call-to-actions were unclear, and overall readability was poorcausing frustration and drop-offs in user journeys.

Solution

Through heat-map analysis, user session recordings, and clickstream data, I pinpointed pain points in the site structure and content presentation. I reorganized the information architecture, introduced well performing navigation into the correct location on the page, and clarified calls-to-action across the site.

Redesigned CTAs to be clear, action-oriented, and visually distinct

I simplified content-heavy layouts (especially on pages like the Doctors section) to support new, patient-centered user flows. These changes made it easier for users—especially those unfamiliar with ophthalmic terminology—to scan, understand, and act on the information relevant to their care needs.

Helped users engage with content more effectively

I introduced larger, high-contrast text and cleaner, responsive layouts to improve readability across screen sizes. We also ensured that high-performing content like patient testimonials remained accessible and visible, leveraging proven engagement from platforms like YouTube and Google to increase user trust and conversion.

Redesigned the site structure to improve content hierarchy

Users were getting lost in walls of unstructured content. I created a more scannable and segmented layout that reduced overwhelm and helped users move smoothly through key information. I also added tools like quick links and page anchors to help users jump directly to the content they were looking for.
