Maybe it's kinda ahead of itself, and needs to wait for earnings to appear and "catch up" with the price. That's why I posted a while back that if I owned LVCI at the time, I'd either sell and buy on a dip, or hold and add on weakness. I'm still holding, and got some more near $7 recently. Earnings are only a Q or two away... The one thing I'm concerned about is the potential for PRK/LASIK to become commodity services down the road, and for managed care to force the price down eventually. That would squeeze LVCI's margins. Also, I wonder what effect the small holmiums (Sunrise) and smaller excimers (Visx?) on the drawing boards will have on LVCI's business plan. The holmiums, at least, may be approved within a couple of years, and may make hyperopia treatments on excimers undesirable for most patients. If lasers become small enough and cheap enough, LVCI's reason for being may vanish. But I'm more concerned about potential price competition down the road.
