I've worn glasses most of my life. Heavy nearsightedness + astigmatism. A friends father is an Opthamologist. She had Radial K about 6 years ago with so-so results. Her father has been watching VISX procedures for a couple of years and recommended that my friend go for it. She had one eye done on 2/3, and raved about the clarity. I went to check it out and decided to do it as well, but both eyes at once. I had my correction done on 2/24. In and out in 15 minutes. VISX. Amazing. before I was: Rt. Eye -3.00 -2.00 x 87 Lt. Eye -2.50 -3.50 x 65 Now: Rt. Eye +0.50 -0.25 x 130 Lt. Eye +0.50 -0.50 x 137 When I went in for my one week check up, I asked my Dr. about VISX as an investment. He said he owns it and is buying another machine. I bought 1000 shares. Hope this lends some perspective, Bruce
