I read your post. Going forward visx will do well with incresaing nearsighted patients using th excimer laser. However, the use of the excimer laser in hyperopia, presbyopia is a difficult procedure, invasive and not without complications. The Sunrise Tech Laser using LTK Holmium laser will be the laser of choice for the above indications. It is much easier to use, less complications. I believe they are submitting to the FDA in October with approval in 1999. The excimer will get approval this year but for hyperopia, presbopia and overcorrection resulting from PRK and Lasik treatments for myopia its clear that the Sunrise Laser will be used. The excimer will be for these indications be obsolete in six months. Andrew Richman M.D,
