You're incredible! It is the kind of dog-fight mentality sponsored by others like yourself that has prevented two companies from sharing a Potentially lucrative American market between themselves, with room for each organization.
I've watched you, for a solid year, trash any entity not connected with Visx . You and I know that LVCI is awashed in Visx lasers and will continue to be in their camp for some time to come. We also know that all broad beam lasers will soon be obsolete when scanning technology and narrow beam technology is approved into the USA market. When Summit got partial clearance for use of their machine with LASIK, you argued against LASIK, in favor of straight PRK and Multizone, and you ignored any other opinions but your own, including the doctors doing the surgery. PEOPLE WILL DO WHAT THEIR DOCTORS SAY IS BEST. If you think they will research the hardware and technology behind this machinery, you should stand on your head and let the blood run back in.
Let me explain this so even you can understand!
The laser manufacturers are connected (PPP) on purpose. When one makes money, the other makes money. If Visx has a superior machine, it does not matter. Summit has a lock on double the sites. If Visx puts a machine on wheels, it does not matter, because the more machines working, the more both companies will make, continuing into the near future.
When Autonomous, who turned their first income from laser sales in Canada recently, makes it to the USA arena, they will be so far behind, the difficulty of cracking major markets will be magnified, even with improved new generation lasers. LCAV should do well because they have double the sites as their
nearest competitors, and they will soon start to grow . You are cool on them because there is a good shot Beam lasers will be put in more new locations. |
