This company markets the latest and best technology, yet they do not use IntraLase, a laser that creates the corneal flap and makes the surgery much safer. They also do not use the latest 2 lasers approved by the FDA. Therefore, they really do not offer the safest and best technology. People having LASIK right now are wanting the safest and best technology (the conservative majority) and are willing to pay extra for superior results. LASIKPlus does not provide this! They will be bankrupted soon.

They're getting chewed out now for rolling out more IntraLase lasers (for funding, not quality reasons). Hard for me to feel too bearish on that news if this laser is all you say it is.

As of their Q1 2008 call, they have significant IntraLase roll-out and it appears to be helping with pricing, although volumes are terrible.
