VISX does have some limited competition, but at this time certainly has the edge on everyone else. there are some other treatments that are available but none as effective as the lasik...you can look at orthokeratology or the corneal implants(which at this stage is more in the developmental stage as compared to lasik). orthokeratology involves the re-shaping of the cornea using contact lens...in my opinion, mediocre results

BEAM, VSIX... there was a good article in Business Week dated March
1, 1999 on this subject matter. It also provides info on advanced research procedures pending FDA approval on companies such as the use
of implants instead of shaving your cornea... Autonomous Technologies
Corporation was discussed in this article.
