I have been following SNRS for a while (I have a few shares) and thought I'd take a look at VISX.

Here's what I like:
1. no debt
2. positive earnings
3. great feedback from people I've talked to.

Here's what I'd like to know:
1. How does the company generate its revenue? I assume sales of the laser (how much?) plus a dollar amount per patient. How much is each?

2. How many countries is it approved in?

3. How many units have been sold to date? I guess it would be important to know how long they have been selling the units as well.

4. How much are doctors charging per person or per eye?

If somebody has answers to these questions I would be very appreciative. I realize some of these things may have been discussed so I am sorry if my questions are repetative. It seems like an interesting company with tremendous potential.

Thanks in advance,
Colby
