Jim, Congratulations on the recent run up in price. I don't hear you complaining about LASIK now that has contributed to the bottom line of VISX and jump started the entire industry. Do you still have the same concerns ? I am assuming you are not a doctor by the amount of time you able spend on this thread and others. Soon you will not be able to to diligently tout VISX and bash Summit as more advanced machines come on to the market. It may be time to distribute some of your profits from VISX to LVC centers and other manufactures, even, if you can bear the thought BEAM. The VISX business model is essentially flawed. Which is why Summit tried to augment it's sources of income by owning laser vision correction centers (As you know they failed miserably), but it does point ou the problem. The fact that they clung to it for as long as they did I think says something. (I don't believe they are totally incompetent, many talented people worked long and hard on it) P.S. The Summit Apex is regarded by many as being superior for LASIK, and they still have largest installed base.
