I have been lurking on this board for a few months. I was a -11.75 and now a crystal clear plano, 20/20 can see great at night no halo's. The op was easy, 1 day with a patch. I also spoke to and met with 6 other patients in phase 1-3 and everyone was extremly happy. One had gone from -17 to 20/20. Also another had +7 and seeing 20/30. The accuracy is amazing and its reversible. I have only heard of 1 person out of 30 who had it removed. These first 100-125 cases so far were all difficult, most where not candidates for LASIK, thats why they became ICL candidates. The DR. says this will be the future. They also correct for astigmatism but this is not an indication at this time. I bought my first shares at 10.5 and alot at 13. I also added some call options DEC 15. a steal at 1 5/8. The Phase 3 will be complete by then easily and the company already turned down $15 in cash. I would hate to be short this. Op only cost 2k. In the future why would anyone want their corneas cut when they don't have to take that unreversible chance. Op as simple as cataract, which is done almost 2 million times a year. Company already profitable. Thanks for your time, happy as can be, just wish this was avaliable 10 years ago.

Alan, Since you really impressed me with your analysis on CAMD and MAPS, I decided to check your profile and saw STAA. I have watched STAA on occasion in the past, but haven't jumped in. (It does look interesting here!) I'd appreciate your up-to-date analysis on STAA. You haven't posted here since July. Also, did you notice the recent insider buys between $9-3/8 - $10-1/2? I like to see that! biz.yahoo.com Happily Long CAMD and MAPS, Happily Following STAA, Duke
