Bob, is this the one you mean? Posted by "Nambeil":

I spoke to an opthalmologist at the London Place Eye Center in New Westminster BC--He's of the opinion that the Sunrise holmium will be used universally at laser correction clinics everywhere. They use it
to treat simple hyperopia and to correct overcorrections done by excimer that tends to make people who are treated for myopia hyperopic. The ophthalmologist said "the holmium is a good little laser" and that everyone will want one when it becomes available in US.

Currently, his clinic uses the snrs holmium to complement rather than replace excimers. But their snrs laser is four years old. If they upgraded to the product that finally hits the market in 2000 or 1999, methinks it would be used more frequently. That is, if the new version corrects to 5 diopters, a real likelihood, instead of the 3 diopters currently. Overall, I'm very optimistic. Would like to see this board incude more professional opinion like above. It's very reassuring to know the pros like it.
