 PROFILE
VISX looks like an eye-opener: It's a leading maker of laser vision-correction systems. Designed to recontour the surface of the cornea of the eye, VISX's system -- an excimer laser and computerized workstation -- enables ophthalmologists to treat conditions ranging from nearsightedness and astigmatism to pathological vision disorders. In addition to buying the $500,000 system, operators must buy single-use VisionKey cards that contain the software necessary to use the laser; they must also pay a per-use royalty. The FDA-approved systems are installed in more than 50 countries. Corporate investor Carl Icahn, who purchased a stake in VISX, wants to sell the company to a larger health care firm.
