Eye Vision continues to perform research and development regarding additional eye treatments that could be performed using the Clear View Laser. Eye Vision must receive additional FDA approval for any new treatment applications. With FDA approval, Eye Vision will offer, on a when-and-if available basis, new treatment applications for the Clear View Laser through software updates that will be available at no charge to customers who have purchased a maintenance agreement. Eye Vision has not provided any specific details to its customers regarding future treatment applications that are still under development.
On January 1, 2010, Eye Vision signed a contract with Holland Hospital to sell the Clear View Laser. In addition to this medical equipment, the contract includes an initial option to purchase a two-year separately priced maintenance agreement on the Clear View
Laser. The maintenance plan includes telephone support, repair or replacement of nonconforming parts, software updates, and bug fixes for the software. Holland Hospital has elected to purchase the maintenance agreement. Eye Vision will receive $1 million for the Clear View Laser and $200,000 up front for the two years of maintenance.
Eye Vision has never sold, nor does it offer to sell, the Clear View Laser without the embedded software because the software is necessary to perform the medical procedures for which the laser is intended.
The Eye Vision maintenance agreement is available only to purchasers of the Clear View Laser and has never been sold separately. There is not a general right of return for sales of the Clear View Laser.
