It's likely because this specific laser is rare. Only one in Michigan, and the doc was tellin me how he gets out of staters discounts at the nearby hotels.

It's much more than just that. For instance, there's a new optical device out there that lets you see 12 layers of the retina without dialating. It's pretty revolutionary. But it's got a click fee of several dollars. It's also selling below cost, I believe, so we're looking at the video game console model.
