Not to mention the laser center I used offered to finance the procedure for me. At that time it was 2000/eye and the doctor got 800 of it. I spoke to the gentleman that was in charge of the company running the center ( His fiance was getting lasik the same day) and he said they were so far from profittability it wasn't funny. The numbers of how many eyes would have to be done in a month for break even was not even realistic. It was somewhere around 10 times what they were doing at the time. and they already had every opthamologist in the area using their center.

I didn't mean to imply that the insurance issue was that big a deal...
only something to consider if the economy slows.

What would seem to be an issue of more importance is the question of whether or not some physicians are/were suing VISX over the royalty payments. If that is indeed "true"...it would have a major impact on their business plan...revenue stream.
