Furlong Vision Correction Relocates Clinic to San Jose

For Immediate Release: May 4, 2007.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - To accommodate an increase in new patients receiving vision correction procedures and fill an unmet need for these services in downtown San Jose, Dr. Michael Furlong, Medical Director of Furlong Vision Correction (FVC), announced today that he has relocated offices to Bayshore Plaza, on North First Street. The clinic has state-of-the-art technology and is twice the size of FVC's former office in Campbell.

"We are thrilled about our new location and clinic," said Dr. Furlong. "With advances in vision correction technologies, we are seeing a strong growth in Wavefront Custom LASIK. We now have the space to accommodate current and new clients, and many procedures will be performed on site, which makes it very convenient for our customers."

"This particular section of North First Street has been up and coming for quite some time," said Manoj Kapoor of NAI BT Commercial. "It is home to the County of Santa Clara and several of the nation's Fortune 500 companies, including Ebay and BEA Systems, which are all within walking distance. Over the next five years we will see strong growth and development in this area, providing FVC with even stronger business opportunities."

New clinic details:

• Clinic has 6,500 square-feet of space
• There are 20 private consultation/examination rooms
• There is an 800-square foot surgery center with the latest technology
• In the lobby area there is a computer kiosk, offering patients information on vision correction procedures.
• Services provided include LASIK, Custom LASIK, PRK (photo-refractive keratectomy), Custom PRK, CK (conductive keratoplasty), RLE (refractive lens exchange), and Cataracts. Dr. Furlong is an expert in all seven vision correction procedures.

With the combination of an active population that likes to be free of glasses, a growing baby boomer population and technological advances, refractive vision correction is experiencing market changes not seen since the introduction of LASIK in the 1990s. According to a recent study by market research firm Kalorama Information, it is estimated that the refractive vision correction market will grow from $1.3 billion in 2006 to $4.5 billion in 2009.

Laser vision correction surgery is also experiencing a record level of patient satisfaction due to better results. Patients who had LASIK surgery 5 or more years ago could expect a maximum improvement to 20/20. Patients today can often expect correction to 20/15 or better.
