    Acoording to Retinal Physician article Nov of 2007. Dr Singerman had mentioned that the pattern scan was faster and could deliver 20-25 spots in 0.5 seconds. This also means that sicker patients don't have to go through single laser shots and uncomfortable retrobulbar block injections.
    I wonder if the pattern can reach the periphery well and is the beam of light to strong for the patients to instinctively look away or move their head... Well in anycase the technology is meeting the need of the physicians and patients and thats the sign of a winner in the making.
    Congratulations to Optimedica and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Alloy Ventures and DAG Ventures.
