 PROFILE
Summit Autonomous is no longer autonomous: Nestlé subsidiary Alcon purchased it in 2000. The company took its current name in 1999 when Summit Technology bought surgical laser maker Autonomous Technologies.

Eye surgeons use the company's main product, the LADARVision Excimer System, in LASIK procedures that treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Summit also operates the #1 mail-order contact lens replacement service in the US, Lens Express, but the unit is being sold to Strategic Optical Holdings.
