(AMO) reflects the company's aggressive efforts to stay on the forefront of ophthalmic technology, associated competitive challenges, and leveraged balance sheet. These concerns are mitigated by the company's strong market positions and its product and geographic diversity. AMO's acquisition of VISX Inc. for $1.4 billion in May 2005, transformed it into the No. 1 laser vision correction (LVC) player. This was followed by the addition of even more-advanced femtosecond technology (via the $800 million IntraLase acquisition) in April 2007. However, as the company cemented its technology advantage in refractive vision correction, AMO became more exposed to adverse developments in the area.

(AMO) reflects the company's technology risk, competitive risks, and aggressive efforts to build on its well-established position as a midsize player in the industry. These efforts have broadened AMO's product and geographic diversity and have made the company a leader in its markets, despite the recent sharp decline in eye care revenues resulting from the May 2007 recall of COMPLETE multipurpose lens care solution. The company's debt leverage is high. AMO derives 58% of its revenues outside the U.S. and holds leading positions in two of its three business segments--cataract/implants and laser vision correction (LVC)--which accounted for 51% and 34% of 2007 revenues, respectively.
