Theo/All -

If you want to combine your interests vision care AND stocks, go look at SNRS (I do not own this stock right now... but I am watching it).

Sunrise Technologies has submitted, for FDA approval, a laser technique which will correct three things: farsightedness, over correction from nearsightedness eye surgeries (like PRK/LASIK), AND presbyopia (the need for READING GLASSES).

The market for this technique is gigantic, when you consider all the boomers that are aging, and need or WILL need reading glasses... The potential market is bigger than that for PRK/LASIK, and I don't think the competition is as big as it is on the myopia side.

From what I've read (there is a SI thread for this company), the technique takes about 1-2 minutes per eye, and is done while you SIT at a console and look in the device. One day, I expect you'll be able to get this done at your neighborhood mall for peanuts (less than $500 total).

They are into the later phases of clinical trials, and are reporting great results. The technique is being performed now in the Caribbean, but it's not FDA approved yet, so it's not legal yet in the U.S.. They expect FDA approval later this year, I think.
