Paradigm Medical Industries Inc. (PDMI)

[McGreene]

Tell you what I know about Paradigm. Some of the people around the company are tied in with 1-800-CONTACTS, they’re all together there in Salt Lake City. It’s a whole larger group who’ve been trying to liberalize US eye care laws for years.

Europe has always had better ophthalmic devices than the US. CSO in Italy has had corneal topographers that detect glaucoma earlier and more accurately, for a couple decades now.

And if there was ever a time when you’d see some real opening up of US eye care laws, this would be it. Baby Boomers are hitting that age when they’re starting to suffer from eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, etc. Boomers are a very powerful demographic group, politically and economically. If anyone can change the status quo here, it’s them.
