To all:
I have been in sunrise for about a year. I just bought more, but here are some of my concerns.

A few optometrists I have heard from (through associates) said the following:

1. The market sunrise is after is not big enough. Why would a doctor buy a machine that treats only hyperopia when he/she can buy a machine that treats both?

2. Certain eyes (having to do with the shape of the lense) work better with the Sunrise laser. Others don't take to the procedure to well. He said they have not perfected their technology yet.

3. There has been a fair amount of regression.

All the above are what I have heard, they are not necessarily my opinions. I do not personally know the doctors, but I do know the people who spoke with them. Both own the stock. The company seems to think the market is quite large and regression has been minimal. I don't know if the doctors know more about the studies than company has released or if it is just word of mouth or what. I just thought I'd share and see if anyone can dispute, comment on, or add to the aforementioned statements.

Hoping for another VISX,
Colby
