The Dow Jones did'nt mention who he worked for but I'm told be might
be with Hambrecht and Quist. There was a phone number with the release for Otesa Middleton 202-862-6654 the Dow Jones reporter, I'm sure she can assist you in finding Mr. Lachman. Actually, I'm trying
to educate myself as to which laser and procedure will be the treatment of choice. It's quite amazing the difference of opinion
noted on the different threads. It appears to me that the excimer laser by Visx and the snrs Holmium laser can achieve the desired results in hyperopia. The question is which is safer, easier, cheaper and with less complications. The Visx people talk about regression quite a bit when talking about snrs but I have not seen
anything that proves that the desired end point is not reached.
Clearly, the excimer laser is the more invasive procedure, appears
to have more complications and side effects. It appears to be
more costly to the patient and doctor. The dow jones release
appears to be a heads up about the use of the excimer laser in hyperopic patients and not to expect too much. This seems to concur
with Dr. MacFarland's comments and my understanding also. Ltk
seems to be the best kept secret in opthalmology. Mr. Lachman
and the whole Opthalmology community need to be educated as to Ltk
not be mention Wall Street.
