Joe,
I agree with you completely. Knowing the little I do know about the procedures, there is now way one would choose the invasive over the non-invasive. However, I think the majority of patients will learn their options through their doctor. Which is he/she using? If VISX comes to market first, or if worse, they can modify their existing machines to do both techniques, their is incentive for the doctor to stick with VISX laser. He doesn't have to be retrained and he can work on both near and farsighted patients. I am not saying SNRS will not be able to penetrate the market succesfully, but it may take more time and money if VISX is approved first. Getting to market first is a huge advantage, especially if the product gives a doctor twice the capabilities.

If VISX doesn't get approval for Hyperopia, then all the above is moot.
I am just speculatin' for the sake of discussion.

Thanks for the response,
Colby
