John,

I've been buying BEAM and I intend to just HOLD. If you don't like the company-Great. If you like VISX-Great. If you want to criticize-Great. I'll make money in any case. So will you.

Summit is selling lasers. Summit is starting treatment centers. I like the franchise.

Yes, they use the mask. It works for them. When properly trained it works for others. I can cite success stories.

Summit is prepared to treat astigmatism and farsightedness. They are not yet approved by the FDA for these applications. Neither is VISX. If VISX is treating these conditions they are working outside their APPROVED FDA treatment range. This may be bad for the entire industry.

I may buy some VISX with the profits from my BEAM in a few years or so. I tend to hold for long periods (sometimes forever) and I tend to do my own research. I like both company's but for different reasons.

I hope this helps,

Greg
