John, thanks for the article. I am not on MF so I don't read their BB. How does their VISX thread compare to ours? I read a Business Wire report back in October that the Navy bought one of the VISX lasers and has had good results with it. I would think that if the rest of the military chimes in, a significant number of operations could be done gratis by the military. How does this affect the industry revenue model, if at all? I understand that the operations only take a matter of seconds, and so if the demand were there, it could be set up for mass scale like the cataract camps in India.
