Ron Kurtz: The LAL uniquely meets this challenge by letting doctors optimize a patient's vision after surgery to achieve excellent vision over a range of distances at rates that are nearly double that of competitive products, but without reducing quality of vision or increasing unwanted effects such as glare or halos. In the Q3, we also rolled out an important update to our technology called ActivShield, which protects the LAL from ambient UV light, providing additional scheduling flexibility for patients and doctors. We did see procedures grow throughout the quarter, and particularly in September as our ActivShield rollout was substantially completed. While we are early in the Q4, we have continued to see procedural momentum accelerate and now expect revenue for the full year to be between $21 million to 21.4 million.

Speaker 4: I would also like to highlight the non-gap disclosures and the press release for the non-cache thought-based compensation expense and the change in the fair value.
I would also like to highlight the non-GAAP disclosures in the press release with the noncash stock based compensation expense and the change in the fair value of points as it provides investors with useful comparative information.
Speaker 4: as it provides investors with useful comparative...
Speaker 4: Stock base compensation in the third quarter of this year was $2 million, and the change in fair value of warrant resulted in a gain of 1.5 million.
Talk based compensation in the third quarter of this year was $2 million and the change in fair value of warrants resulted in a gain of $1 $5 million in the quarter, resulting in a non-GAAP basic and diluted loss at 65 cents per share.
Speaker 4: resulting in a non-gap, basically, it's diluted loss.
Speaker 4: Moving to the balance sheet, we ended the third quarter with $168.3 million cash, cash equivalence and short-term investments. Long-term debt was $30.3 million.
Shelley Thunen: Moving to the balance sheet, we ended Q3 with $168.3 million in cash equivalents, and short-term debt investments. Long-term debt was $39.6 million. With the increase in momentum at the end of Q3 and the beginning of this quarter, we expect revenue for the full year to be between $21 million to $21.4 million, an increase of 43% to 46% over the full year of 2020. Gross margin is expected to be between 18% and 19%, with a net loss between $49 million to $50 million for the full year. Since we are at year-end, this translates to revenue of $7.1 to $7.4 million in Q4.

Hey, guys. This is Allen on for Robbie just wanted to start by saying congrats on a good quarter.
[Analyst] (J.P. Morgan): Hey, guys, this is Alan on for Robbie. Just wanna start by saying congrats on a good quarter. You know, I think it was a bit refreshing to not hear COVID-19 brought up as kind of an important dynamic that we track is going forward. Just to dive a little bit deeper into it, was there any, you know, meaningful impact on the quarter from the pandemic and Delta? You mentioned that you saw acceleration continuing in through the quarter and into October, which is great to hear. Just in terms of the impact of the pandemic, you know, the kind of hospital staffing issues that we have heard of, any impact from those that we should keep in mind going forward?
[Analyst] (JPMorgan Chase): Hey, guys, this is Alan on for Robbie. Just wanna start by saying congrats on a good quarter.

But just to dive a little bit deeper into it, was there any meaningful impacts on the quarter from the pandemic and Delta? You mentioned that you saw acceleration continuing in through the quarter and in October , which is great to hear. But just in terms of the impact of the pandemic, the kind of hospital staffing issues that we have heard of any impact from those that we should keep in mind going forward.
And you know I think it was a bit refreshing to nod here COVID-19 brought out that is kind of an important dynamic that you're tracking going forward, but just to dive a little bit deeper into it was there any meaningful impact on the quarter from the pandemic and Delta have you mentioned that you saw acceleration continuing through the quarter and in <unk>.
October which is great to hear but just in terms of the impact of the pandemic you know.
They kind of hospital staffing issues that we've heard of any impact from those that we should keep in mind going forward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for your question, Owen. Obviously, COVID is still a factor at both the macro and practice level.
Hi, Yes. Thank you for your question Alan.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. Thank you for your question, Alan. You know, obviously COVID is still a factor at you know, both the macro and practice level. You know, the rates for COVID did increase over the quarter. Ophthalmic practices largely have been relatively less affected by the primary effects of COVID and more from secondary effects, how people take vacations and staffing levels, primarily at ASCs, which can limit the throughput of ASCs. We certainly see COVID effects. As you know, at our stage of development, we're still primarily impacted by factors related to our technology and our ramp.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. Thank you for your question, Alan. You know, obviously COVID is still a factor at you know, both the macro and practice level. You know, the rates for COVID did increase over the quarter.

The rates for Covid did increase over the quarter.
They.
But ophthalmic practices largely have have.
<unk> been relatively.
Less affected by the by the primary effects of Covid and more from secondary effects.
Speaker 3: how people take vacations and staffing levels primarily at ASCs, which can limit the throughput of ASCs. So we certainly see COVID effects, but
How people take vacations and staffing levels, primarily at <unk>, which can limit the throughput of <unk>. So.
So we certainly see COVID-19 effects.
But.
Speaker 3: As you know at our stage of development, we're still primarily impacted by factors related to our technology and our range.
As you know at our stage of development, where we are.
Still primarily impacted by factors related to our technology and our ramp.
Got it and then just as a quick follow up I think in this quarter. We saw you guys you know relative to our own forecast, putting and a bit more leds.
[Analyst] (J.P. Morgan): Got it. Then just as a quick follow-up, I think in this quarter we saw you guys, you know, relative to our own forecasts, putting in, you know, a bit more LDDs than we had forecasted. That really drove a little bit of outperformance versus our model. When we think about this momentum going forward, should we expect that Q4 will be driven by kind of another similarly strong quarter from LDD placements, especially, you know, with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year, and coupled with, you know, some more modest improvements in LALs as right now, as you've said, the focus really is on just expanding the base and then going deeper later? Thank you very much.
[Analyst] (JPMorgan Chase): Got it. Then just as a quick follow-up, I think in this quarter we saw you guys, you know, relative to our own forecasts, putting in, you know, a bit more LDDs than we had forecasted. That really drove a little bit of outperformance versus our model. When we think about this momentum going forward, should we expect that Q4 will be driven by kind of another similarly strong quarter from LDD placements, especially, you know, with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year, and coupled with, you know, some more modest improvements in LALs as right now, as you've said, the focus really is on just expanding the base and then going deeper later? Thank you very much.
Speaker 5: Got it. And then just as a quick follow up, I think in this quarter, we saw you guys, you know, relative to our own forecast, putting in, you know, a bit more LEDs. Then we had forecast that really drove a little bit.
Than we had forecasted that really drove a little bit of outperformance versus our model. So when we think about this momentum going forward and should we expect that fourth quarter will be driven by kind of another similarly strong corridor from L. D D placements, especially with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year.
Speaker 5: So when we think about this momentum going forward, should we expect that fourth quarter will be driven by another similarly strong quarter from LVD placement, especially with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year, and coupled with some more modest improvements in LALs, as right now, as you've said, the focus really is on just expanding the base and then going deeper later. Thank you very much.
And coupled with some more modest improvements in L. A right now as you said the focus really isn't just expanding the base and then going deeper later, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Hi, Alan. It's Hicheli. You know, you do have both those things right that you talked about. You know, our focus is on LVD sales because that does drive procedure growth. Fourth quarter historically has been strong for capital equipment for the same reasons that you enumerated earlier because people want to get their accelerated depreciation on any capital they buy in the fourth quarter.
Hi, Alan this is Shelly.
Shelley Thunen: Hi, Alan. This is Shelley. You know, you do have both those things right that you talked about. You know, our focus is on LDD sales because that does drive procedure growth. Q4 historically has been strong for capital equipment for the same reasons that you enumerated earlier because people wanna get their accelerated depreciation on any capital they buy in Q4. Q4 tends to be good for procedures as well. That's a macroeconomic kind of look. I think it really depends on what our particular doctors decide to do for us, but we are very pleased with the momentum that we have on LDD sales.
Shelley Thunen: Hi, Alan. This is Shelley. You know, you do have both those things right that you talked about. You know, our focus is on LDD sales because that does drive procedure growth.

You do have both those things right that you talked about you know our focus is on.
LTV sales because that does drive procedure growth.
Quarter, historically has been strong for capital equipment for the same reasons that you and I read it earlier because people want to get the accelerated depreciation on any capital as they buy in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: And fourth quarter tends to be good for procedures as well. That's a macroeconomic kind of look. I think it really depends on what our particular doctors decide to do for us.
And fourth quarter tends to be good for procedures as well that's a macroeconomic kind of look I think it really depends on what our particular doctors to do for us, but we are very pleased with the momentum that we have on L. D. P sands.

I was just hoping you know thanks for providing guidance I was just hoping you could maybe walk us through some.
Some of your assumptions included in the upper and lower ends of the range.
And kind of what we can expect.
And what it might take to to hit the lower and upper ends of the range. Thanks. So much.
Shelley Thunen: Yeah. The range is pretty narrow at $7.1 to 7.4 million. I think the difference in the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of LDDs we sell during the quarter. You know, that's really also why we have some range in the gross margin as well, because the gross margin on the LDD is lower, quite a bit lower than the LAL.
Shelley Thunen: Yeah. The range is pretty narrow at $7.1 to 7.4 million. I think the difference in the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of LDDs we sell during the quarter. You know, that's really also why we have some range in the gross margin as well, because the gross margin on the LDD is lower, quite a bit lower than the LAL.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the range is pretty narrow at 7.1 million to 7.4 million. I think the difference in the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of LDDs we sell during the quarter. And that really is also why we have some range in the growth margin as well, because the growth margin on the LDD is lower, quite a bit lower than the LA.
Yes, the range is pretty narrow at 71, $7 1 million to seven 4 million and I think the difference and the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of Leds, we sell during the quarter.
And you know that that really is also why we have some range in the gross margin as well because the.
The gross margin on the LTV is lower quite a bit lower than the L. A L.
Okay, great. Thanks.
[Analyst] (SVB Leerink): Okay. Great. Thanks. Just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of, you know, utilization and how kind of new surgeons, and, you know, once you place the LDD and how new surgeons are ramping, and how we should think about utilization heading into Q4, and, you know, looking ahead into 2022?
[Analyst] (SVB Leerink): Okay. Great. Thanks. Just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of, you know, utilization and how kind of new surgeons, and, you know, once you place the LDD and how new surgeons are ramping, and how we should think about utilization heading into Q4, and, you know, looking ahead into 2022?
Speaker 6: Okay, great things. And then just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of utilization and how kind of new surgeons and once you place the LDD and how new surgeons are ramping and how we should think about utilization heading into the fourth quarter and looking ahead into 2022.
And then just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of.
Utilization and how kind of when you started in <unk>.
And once you place a L D D Aetna and how do you start and ramping them.
And how we should think about utilization heading into the fourth quarter and looking ahead into 2022.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Aaron. You know, we see a wide range of initial utilization and ramp. It really depends on the practice.
Yes, Thank you erinn.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. Thank you, Erin. You know, we see a wide range of initial utilization in ramp. It really depends on the practice. Our focus really is on educating the practices, and that includes, you know, doctors, optometrists, other people in the practice about the value of the LAL and its unique ability to provide high quality vision and an extended range of vision. That's something, that combination is something that's just not available with other competitive products. Some practices pick up on that very early and ramp more quickly. Others, they take a little bit slower approach.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. Thank you, Erin. You know, we see a wide range of initial utilization in ramp. It really depends on the practice.

And our focus really is on educating the practices and that includes doctors optometrists other people in the in the.

And its unique ability to provide high quality vision and.
Speaker 3: high quality vision and an extended range of vision. And that's something that is just not, that combination is something that's just not available with other competitive products.
An extended range of vision and that's something that is just not that combination is something that is just not available with other competitive products.
Speaker 3: And some practices pick up on that very early and rant more quickly. Others, they take a little bit slower approach. Also, we do see that...
And some practices.
Pick up on that very early and.
Ramp more quickly others.
They take a little bit slower approach also.
Ron Kurtz: Also, we do see that. That's one of the reasons why we've initiated the new sales position focused on LAL sales and ramping, is to be able to accelerate that educational process.

Good afternoon, and thank you Ryan so well.
Shelley Thunen: Good afternoon.
Shelley Thunen: Good afternoon.
Speaker 7: So we'll first off we'll see you guys in a few days at AALs. So I just want to ask a question on the increase in the LDD sales course. I guess what are you seeing in the account?
Ron Kurtz: Thank you, Ryan.
Ron Kurtz: Thank you, Ryan.
Ryan Zimmerman: We'll first off, we'll see you guys in a few days at AAO. I just wanna ask a question on the increase in the LDD sales force. You know, I guess what are you seeing in the accounts that you know kind of accelerating that process? I think it's a good signal, but I would imagine you know there's something underlying that that's helping you think about that. You know, certainly with the LAL, rapid and expanded force that you know increases utilization. Also, my other question to that is what do you expect you know when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kinda consistent LAL usage? Thank you.
Ryan Zimmerman: We'll first off, we'll see you guys in a few days at AAO. I just wanna ask a question on the increase in the LDD sales force. You know, I guess what are you seeing in the accounts that you know kind of accelerating that process? I think it's a good signal, but I would imagine you know there's something underlying that that's helping you think about that. You know, certainly with the LAL, rapid and expanded force that you know increases utilization. Also, my other question to that is what do you expect you know when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kinda consistent LAL usage? Thank you.
Well first off we'll see you guys in a few days. So I just want to ask a question on the increase in the <unk> sales force.
I guess what are you seeing in the account.
That kind of accelerating that process.
Speaker 7: that kind of accelerating that process. I think it's a good signal, but I would imagine there's something underlying that that tells you, think about that. And then certainly with the LAO rapid and expanded force that increases utilization. Also, my other question to that is, what do you expect when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kind of consistent LAO usage? Thank you.
I think it's a good signal, but I would imagine there is something underlying at the pump are you thinking about that and then certainly with the rapid.
And expanded enforced.
<unk> utilization I also my other question for that is is what do you expect when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kind of consistent.
All usage. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Thank you Ryan. Maybe I'll take the first part of that question and Shelley will take the second.
Thank you Ryan maybe I'll take the first part of that question and Charlie will take the second.
Ron Kurtz: Thank you, Ryan. Maybe I'll take the first part of that question, and Shelley will take the second. You know, one factor in the rate of our hiring of sales folks is just the success that we've had in finding extremely qualified and interested people in joining RxSight. That's something that we've opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring. Also, you know, we're obviously, this is a very large market, and there's an established pattern of relatively smaller territories within that where salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again educate the field on the benefits of RxSight technology. Again, that combination of quality and range of vision.
Ron Kurtz: Thank you, Ryan. Maybe I'll take the first part of that question, and Shelley will take the second. You know, one factor in the rate of our hiring of sales folks is just the success that we've had in finding extremely qualified and interested people in joining RxSight. That's something that we've opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring. Also, you know, we're obviously, this is a very large market, and there's an established pattern of relatively smaller territories within that where salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again educate the field on the benefits of RxSight technology. Again, that combination of quality and range of vision.
Speaker 3: You know, one factor in the rate of our hiring of sales folks is just the success that we've had in finding extremely qualified and interested people in joining our excite. And so that's something that we've, you know, opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring.
One factor in.
Right.
Our hiring of sales folks is just the.
The success that we've had in finding.
And finding extremely qualified and interested people in joining Rx side and so that's something that we have.
Opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring.
Speaker 3: Also, we're obviously, this is a very large market, and there's an established pattern of relatively smaller territories within that, where salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again, educate the field on the benefits of RXI technology, again, that combination of quality and range of vision.
Also we're obviously this is a very large market and there is an established pattern of relatively.
Smaller territories within that.
Salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again educate the field on the benefits of our X sight technology again that combination of quality and range of vision.
Ron Kurtz: I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
Speaker 3: So I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
Ron Kurtz: I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
So I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
Speaker 4: And of course, we just started hiring for our LAAO sales team. We have five on now and expect to have 18 by the end of the second quarter. Again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly.
Shelley Thunen: Of course, we just started hiring for our LAL sales team. We have 5 on now and expect to have 18 by the end of Q2. Again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly. You know, one of the things that we see in terms of adoption when you measure it, of course, is we're adding LDD so rapidly, which is good. We're increasing the number per quarter. We find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training new doctors as well as training new technicians, even in the ASC. While they are very important and are in the practices all the time, we think we need the additional help with the LAL sales team. This is a relatively new team.
Shelley Thunen: Of course, we just started hiring for our LAL sales team. We have 5 on now and expect to have 18 by the end of Q2. Again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly. You know, one of the things that we see in terms of adoption when you measure it, of course, is we're adding LDD so rapidly, which is good. We're increasing the number per quarter. We find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training new doctors as well as training new technicians, even in the ASC. While they are very important and are in the practices all the time, we think we need the additional help with the LAL sales team. This is a relatively new team.
We just.
Started hiring for our sales.
Sales team, we have five on now and expect to have 18 by the end of the second quarter again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that we see in terms of adoption when you measure it, of course, is we're adding L, D, D, D so rapidly, which is good. We're increasing the number for quarter.
One of the things that we see in terms of adoption and you measure and of course as we're adding L. PD, so rapidly which has got through increasing the number per quarter and of course, you know it takes a while for people to get going and we.
Speaker 4: And of course, it takes a while for people to get going. And we find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training and training new doctors, as well as training new technicians even in the AOC.
We find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training and training new doctors as well as training technicians, even in the AMC.
Speaker 4: So while they are very important and are in the practices all the time, we think we need the additional help with the LAL sales team.
So while they are very important.
In the practices all the time, we think we need additional help with Elliott with sales teams.
Speaker 4: This is a relatively new team. They're just starting out, but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education.
Is a relatively new tank theyre, just starting out but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more Leds and of course. It also allows.
Shelley Thunen: They're just starting out, but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more LDDs. Of course, it also allows us to go back to existing customers. Some are very high adopters and, you know, we'll be able to observe their best practices and be able to let other people know about that as well, but also to help practices that maybe haven't adopted as quickly. I think 2022 will tell us a bit more about the effectivity of that sales force, but we expect them to be effective, and they are hiring really very qualified people who've done this before for other companies.
Shelley Thunen: They're just starting out, but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more LDDs. Of course, it also allows us to go back to existing customers.

I think 2022 will tell us a bit more about the effectivity of that sales force, but we expect them to be effective, and they are hiring really very qualified people who've done this before for other companies.
Speaker 4: about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more LDDs. And of course, it also allows us to go back to existing customers, some are very high adopters and we'll be able to...
Just to go back to existing customers.
Our very high adopters and you know we'll be able to.
Speaker 4: serve their best practices and
Serve their best practices and and.
Speaker 4: and be able to let other people know about that as well, but also to help practices, maybe having adopted this quickly. So I think 2022 will tell us a bit more about the effectivity of that field force, but we expect them to be effective and we are hiring.
Be able to let other people know about that as well, but also to help practices maybe haven't adopted as quickly. So I think 2022 will tell us a bit more about the effectivity of that of that sales force, but we expect them to be effective and we are hiring.
Speaker 4: really very qualified people who've done this before.
Really.
Very qualified people who've done this before for either company.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's very helpful. I appreciate that color. And then just the last question for me, I'll hop back in queue. You know, you're pricing on the LBD's team and I think higher than we're expecting. And, and certainly the LAL's, you know, too. And I appreciate the comments about fourth quarter run, you know, into the quarter of this far on the momentum. What are your expectations around pricing, you know, do you expect it to be stable and just how to think about pricing to introduce components? Thanks for taking the questions.
Ryan Zimmerman: Okay. That's very helpful. I appreciate that color. Just the last question for me, I'll hop back in queue. You know, your pricing on the LDDs came in, I think, higher than we were expecting, and certainly the LALs, you know, too. I appreciate the comments about Q4, Ron, you know, into the quarter thus far on the momentum. What are your expectations around pricing? You know, do you expect it to be stable? And just how to think about pricing between the two components. Thanks for taking the questions.
Ryan Zimmerman: Okay. That's very helpful. I appreciate that color. Just the last question for me, I'll hop back in queue. You know, your pricing on the LDDs came in, I think, higher than we were expecting, and certainly the LALs, you know, too. I appreciate the comments about Q4, Ron, you know, into the quarter thus far on the momentum. What are your expectations around pricing? You know, do you expect it to be stable? And just how to think about pricing between the two components. Thanks for taking the questions.
Okay. That's very helpful. I appreciate that color and then just the last question for me I'll hop back in queue.
Your pricing on the Ltvs came in I think higher than we were expecting.
And suddenly the Ali al too and I appreciate the comments about fourth quarter ran into the quarter, thus far and the momentum what are your expectations around pricing.
Do you expect it to be stable.
And just how to think about pricing generally do components. Thanks for taking the questions.
Shelley Thunen: Yeah. As we think about pricing, you know, in the short run, that might be through H1 2022, we expect it to be stable both for the LDD and the LAL.
Shelley Thunen: Yeah. As we think about pricing, you know, in the short run, that might be through H1 2022, we expect it to be stable both for the LDD and the LAL.
Speaker 4: As we think about pricing, you know, in the short run, that might be through the first half of 2022. We expect it to be stable, both for the LED and the LIO.
If we think about pricing.
In the short run that might be through the first half of 2022, we expect it to be stable both for the LCD and the layout.
Thank you.
Ryan Zimmerman: Thank you.

[Analyst] (Wells Fargo): Hi, this is Charles on for Larry. First congrats on a nice quarter. I know it's a little bit too early for any 2022 guidance, but I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. It looks like consensus is currently sitting at around $39 million in revenue or close to 86% yearly growth. Curious to hear your initial reactions to that number and, just, more generally, what might be driving the growth in the next year and the final puts and takes in 2022. Thanks.

Curious to hear your initial reactions to that number and.
Just more generally what what might be driving the growth in the next year or not.
Puts and takes in 2022.
Speaker 4: Of course, as you did say that it is early for 2022 guidance. We're very focused on the fourth quarter right now. And we do see the macroeconomics continuing to improve a bit. You know, procedures are overall picking up. We do think that...
Shelley Thunen: Of course. You know, as you did say that it is early for 2022 guidance, we're very focused on the Q4 right now. We do see the macroeconomics continuing to improve a bit. You know, procedures are overall picking up. We do think that our individual practice patterns are more important than the macroeconomics, but we're happy to see that. The other thing that other people have commented on is while we're getting some recovery from COVID, it's more gradual than I think everybody thought, and that will be limited really by ASC availability for surgeons to practice.
Shelley Thunen: Of course. You know, as you did say that it is early for 2022 guidance, we're very focused on the Q4 right now. We do see the macroeconomics continuing to improve a bit.

Speaker 4: COVID is more gradual than I think everybody thought and that will be limited really by ASC availability for surgeons to practice.
AFC availability for surgeons to practice.
Shelley Thunen: What we're really focused on as we get into the, we're focused on it now, and it'll be the same focus in 2022, is one, LDD sales, two, increasing the number of LALs at each center, and that's our LAL sales force as well that we're growing. Really underpinning all that is education about the product and the benefits that we offer. There's no other product that compares to ours in terms of visual acuity as well as no glare halos, and of course, excellent contrast vision. Ron, I think you know, you might wanna talk about that just a little bit in terms of how we're positioning the product and what we're making sure we let people know about.
Speaker 4: And what we're really focused on as we get into the focus on it now, and it will be the same focus in 2022, is one LDG sales.
And what we're really focused on.
Shelley Thunen: What we're really focused on as we get into the, we're focused on it now, and it'll be the same focus in 2022, is one, LDD sales, two, increasing the number of LALs at each center, and that's our LAL sales force as well that we're growing. Really underpinning all that is education about the product and the benefits that we offer. There's no other product that compares to ours in terms of visual acuity as well as no glare halos, and of course, excellent contrast vision. Ron, I think you know, you might wanna talk about that just a little bit in terms of how we're positioning the product and what we're making sure we let people know about.
GAAP into <unk>.
Focused on it now and it will be the same focus in 2022 is one ldds fails to increasing the number of <unk>.
Speaker 4: to increasing the number of LALs at each center, and that's our LAL sales force as well, that we're growing. And really underpinning all that is education.
And at each center and that's our <unk>.
Sales force as well that we're growing.
And really underpinning all of that is education.
Speaker 4: about the product and the benefits that we offer. So there's no other product that compares to ours in terms of visual acuity as well as no glare, halos, and of course, excellent contrast vision. So Ron, I think you might want to talk about that just a little bit in terms of how we're positioning the product and what we're making.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you've done a great job, but you know, you hear other products talking about their relative comparison to other premium myowels that have
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. I think you've done a great job. It's, you know, you hear other products talking about their relative comparison to other premium IOLs that have, you know, either side effects or effects on visual quality. That's simply not a factor with the LAL. We're fully comparable to a conventional monofocal IOL in that regard. That's preservation of visual quality while still delivering range of vision. That's really the reason for the product, and it's the unique ability of the product due to its adjustability to achieve those results.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. I think you've done a great job. It's, you know, you hear other products talking about their relative comparison to other premium IOLs that have, you know, either side effects or effects on visual quality. That's simply not a factor with the LAL. We're fully comparable to a conventional monofocal IOL in that regard. That's preservation of visual quality while still delivering range of vision. That's really the reason for the product, and it's the unique ability of the product due to its adjustability to achieve those results.
Speaker 3: either side effects or effects on visual quality. And that's simply not a factor with the LAL and we're fully comparable to a conventional monopocal IOL in that regard. And so that's a, that is preservation of visual quality while still delivering range of vision.
Speaker 3: That's really the reason for the product. And it's the unique ability of the product due to its adjustability to achieve those results.
Okay.
The product due to its adjustability to achieve those results.
Okay.

Shelley Thunen will then go into more of the financial details, and we'll then take questions. In Q3, our Light Delivery Device and Light Adjustable Lens sales generated $5.8 million in revenue, representing 39% growth compared to Q3 2020, and 18% growth compared to Q2 this year. For the 9 months ended 30 September 2021, revenue was $14.2 million, representing a 45% increase compared to the same period in 2020.

Ron Kurtz: While our ophthalmic surgeons also implanted 1,977 Light Adjustable Lenses, or RxLALs during the quarter, bringing the total since our US commercial launch to almost 11,000. Since the premium channel was created in 2005, enabling doctors to collect an additional fee above and beyond standard reimbursement for Advanced Technology Intraocular Lenses, or ATIOLs, doctors and patients have been seeking a premium solution that consistently delivers excellent quality of vision without glasses. The LAL uniquely meets this challenge by letting doctors optimize a patient's vision after surgery to achieve excellent vision over a range of distances at rates that are nearly double that of competitive products, but without reducing quality of vision or increasing unwanted effects such as glare or halos.

Ron Kurtz: In Q3, we also rolled out an important update to our technology called ActivShield, which protects the LAL from ambient UV light, providing additional scheduling flexibility for patients and doctors. We did see procedures grow throughout the quarter and particularly in September as our ActivShield rollout was substantially completed. While we are early in Q4, we have continued to see procedural momentum accelerate and now expect revenue for the full year to be between $21 million to 21.4 million dollars. The growing excitement around RxSight is also evident in our ability to build out our US commercial team efficiently and with very high quality. We have increased the LDD sales force to 14 above our previously stated goal of 12 by year-end. We now expect our LDD sales force to be at 18 by the end of 2021.

Shelley Thunen: We sold 1,977 LALs in Q3 2021, generating revenue of $1.9 million compared to 1,825 LALs, driving $1.8 million of LAL sales in Q2 2021 and 1,513 LALs for $1.4 million of LAL revenue in Q3 2020. Q3 gross profit was $1.3 million or 23.2% of revenue compared to a gross loss of $800,000 in Q2 ending 30 June 2021, and a $720,000 gross profit in Q3 2022 or 17.3% of revenue.
Speaker 4: We sold 1,977 LALs in the third quarter of 2021, generating revenue of 1.9 million dollars.
So 1977 LLS in that third quarter of 2021 generating revenue of $1 $9 million compared to 1825.

Speaker 4: in the third quarter of 2022 or 17.3% of gravity.
Eight 3% of revenue.
Shelley Thunen: The sequential increase in gross profit was primarily due to a large reserve in Q2 2021 for our previous version of the LAL due to ActivShield LAL introduction. The increase in gross margin from Q3 2020 is due to higher sales volume. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended 30 September 2021 were $9.1 million compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2021, and $3.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The sequential increase in SG&A expenses in Q3 2021 compared to Q2 was primarily due to increased headcount in sales and marketing, increased costs to operate as a public company, and an increase in stock-based compensation.

The decrease in research and development expenses sequentially, and as compared to the prior period, resulted from lower consumable materials for testing and prototype expense and lower clinical study expense. Our R&D costs can vary quarter to quarter depending on stage of development of products and timing of clinical studies. Our net loss in Q3 was $12.7 million or $0.68 per share, basic and diluted, attributable to common stock using a weighted average share count of 18.7 million shares.

Prior to our IPO, most of our shareholders owned preferred shares, which were converted to common shares immediately prior to the IPO. I would also like to highlight the non-GAAP disclosures in the press release for the non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the change in the fair value of warrants as it provides investors with useful comparative information.

Shelley Thunen: Moving to the balance sheet, we ended Q3 with $168.3 million in cash equivalents, and short-term debt investments. Long-term debt was $39.6 million. With the increase in momentum at the end of Q3 and the beginning of this quarter, we expect revenue for the full year to be between $21 million to $21.4 million, an increase of 43% to 46% over the full year of 2020. Gross margin is expected to be between 18% and 19%, with a net loss between $49 million to $50 million for the full year.

Hey, guys. This is allen on for Robbie I, just wanted to start by saying congrats on a good quarter.
[Analyst] (J.P. Morgan): Hey, guys. This is Alan on for Robbie. Just want to start by saying congrats on a good quarter. You know, I think it was a bit refreshing to not hear COVID-19 brought up as kind of an important dynamic to keep track of going forward. Just to dive a little bit deeper into it, was there any, you know, meaningful impact on the quarter from the pandemic and Delta? You mentioned that you saw acceleration continuing in, through the quarter and into October, which is great to hear. Just in terms of the impact of the pandemic, you know, the kind of hospital staffing issues that we have heard of, any impact from those that we should keep in mind going forward?
And you know I think it was a bit refreshing to nod here COVID-19 brought up as kind of an important dynamic to keep tracking going forward, but just to dive a little bit deeper into it was there any meaningful impact on the quarter from the pandemic and Delta have you mentioned that you saw acceleration continuing through the quarter and then Dr.

Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for your question, Owen. Obviously, COVID is still a factor at both the macro and practice level.
Hi, Yes. Thank you for your question Alan.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah, thank you for your question, Alan. You know, obviously COVID is still a factor, you know, both at the macro and practice level. You know, the rates for COVID did increase over the quarter. Ophthalmic practices largely have been relatively less affected by the primary effects of COVID and more from secondary effects, how people take vacations and staffing levels, primarily at ASCs, which can limit the throughput of ASCs. We certainly see COVID effects. As you know, at our stage of development, we're still primarily impacted by factors related to our technology and our ramp.
Obviously COVID-19 is still a factor.
At.
Both the macro and practice level.
At the end.
Speaker 3: The rates for COVID did increase over the quarter. But, ophthalmic practices largely have been relatively less affected by the primary effects of COVID and more from secondary effects.

Got it and then just as a quick follow up I think in this quarter. We saw you guys relative to our own forecast putting in a bit more leds.
[Analyst] (J.P. Morgan): Got it. Then just as a quick follow-up, I think in this quarter, we saw you guys, you know, relative to our own forecasts, putting in, you know, a bit more LDDs than we had forecasted. That really drove a little bit of our performance versus our model. When we think about this momentum going forward, should we expect that Q4 will be driven by kind of another similarly strong quarter from LDD placements, especially, you know, with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year, and coupled with, you know, some more modest improvements in LALs, as right now, as you've said, the focus really is on just expanding the base and then going deeper later? Thank you very much.
Speaker 5: Got it. And then just as a quick follow up, I think in this quarter, we saw you guys, you know, relative to our own forecast, putting in, you know, a bit more LEDs than we in forecasts. Is that really drove a little bit of...
Than we had forecasted that really travel a little bit about performance versus our model. So when we think about the momentum going forward should we expect that fourth quarter will be driven by kind of another similarly strong corridor from L. D D placements, especially with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year.
Speaker 5: model. So when we think about this momentum going forward, should we expect that fourth quarter will be driven by kind of another similarly strong quarter from LVD placement, especially with capital budgets generally seeing more purchasing at the end of the year and coupled with some more modest improvements in LALs. As right now, as you said, the focus really is on just expanding the base and then going deeper later. Thank you very much.
And coupled with some more modest improvements in L. A right now as you said the focus really isn't just expanding the base and going deeper later, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Hi, Alan. It's Hicheli. You know, you do have both those things right that you talked about. You know, our focus is on LDD sales because that does drive procedure growth. Fourth quarter historically has been strong for capital equipment for the same reasons that you enumerated earlier because people wanna get their accelerated depreciation on any capital they buy in the fourth quarter.
Hi, Alan this is Shelly.
Shelley Thunen: Hi, Alan, this is Shelley. You know, you do have both those things right that you talked about. You know, our focus is on LDD sales because that does drive procedure growth. Q4 historically has been strong for capital equipment for the same reasons that you enumerated earlier because people wanna get their accelerated depreciation on any capital they buy in Q4. Q4 tends to be good for procedures as well. That's a macroeconomic kind of look. I think it really depends on what our particular doctors decide to do for us. We are very pleased with the momentum that we have on LDD sales.
Do you have both those things right that you talked about you know our focus is on LTV.
<unk> sales because that does drive procedure growth.
Fourth quarter historically has been strong for capital equipment for the same reasons that you and I read it earlier because people want to get their accelerated depreciation on any capital as they buy in the fourth quarter.

And fourth quarter tends to be good for procedures as well that's a macroeconomic kind of look I think it really depends on what our particular doctors decide to do for us, but we are very pleased with the momentum that we have on LDP sales.

Speaker 6: Hi, this is Erin on for Danielle. Thanks so much for taking your questions. I was just hoping, you know, thanks for providing guidance. I was just hoping you could maybe walk us through some of the assumptions included in, you know, the upper and lower ends of the range and kind of what we can expect, you know, and what it might take to hit the lower and upper ends of the range. Thanks so much.
Hi, This is Aaron on for Danielle. Thanks, So much for taking Eric I've been I was just hoping you know thanks for providing guidance I was just hoping you could maybe walk us through them some.

Thanks so much.
Some of your assumptions included in the upper and lower end of the range.
And kind of what we can expect.
And what it might take to hit the lower and upper ends of the range. Thanks, So much.
Shelley Thunen: Yeah, the range is pretty narrow at $7.1 million to $7.4 million. I think the difference in the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of LDDs we sell during the quarter. You know, that really is also why we have some range in the gross margin as well, because the gross margin on the LDD is lower, quite a bit lower than the LAL.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the range is pretty narrow at 7.1 million to 7.4 million. I think the difference in the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of LDDs we sell during the quarter. And, you know, that really is also why we have some range in the growth margin as well, because the growth margin on the LDD is lower, quite a bit lower than the LA.
Yes, the range is pretty narrow at 71, $7 1 million to $7 4 million I.
I think the difference and the range will necessarily primarily be about the number of ldds, we sell during the quarter.
And that's that really is also why we have some range in the gross margin as well because the.
Gross margin on the LTV is lower quite a bit lower than the layout.
Speaker 6: Okay, great. Thanks. And then just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of utilization and how kind of new surgeons and once you place the LDD and how new surgeons are ramping and how we should think about utilization heading into the fourth quarter and looking ahead into 2022.
Okay, great. Thanks.
[Analyst] (SVB Leerink): Okay, great. Thanks. Just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of, you know, utilization and how kind of new surgeons, and, you know, once you place the LDD and how new surgeons are ramping, and how we should think about utilization heading into Q4, and, you know, looking ahead into 2022.
And then just maybe if you could talk about what you're seeing in terms of.
Realization and how kind of when you started in and once you place the IBD and and how do you start and are ramping.
And how we should think about utilization heading into the fourth quarter.
And looking ahead into 2022.
Yes, Thank you erinn.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. Thank you, Erin. You know, we see a wide range of initial utilization and ramp. It really depends on the practice. Our focus really is on educating the practices, and that includes, you know, doctors, optometrists, and other people in the practice about the value of the LAL and its unique ability to provide high-quality vision and an extended range of vision. That combination is something that's just not available with other competitive products. Some practices pick up on that very early and ramp more quickly. Others, they take a little bit slower approach. Also, we do see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Aaron. You know, we see a wide range of initial utilization and ramp. It really depends on the practice.
We see a.
Wide range of initial utilization and ramp it really depends on the practice.

And some practices.
Pick up on that very early in <unk>.
Ramp more quickly others.
They take a little bit slower approach also.
We do see that.
Speaker 3: And that's one of the reasons why we've initiated the new sales position focused on LAL sales and ramping is to be able to accelerate that educational process.

Good afternoon, Thank you Ryan so well.
Shelley Thunen: Good afternoon.
Ron Kurtz: Thank you, Ryan.
Speaker 7: Thank you Ryan. So we'll first off we'll see you guys in a few days of AALs. So I just wanna ask a question on the increase in the LDD sales course. You know, I guess what are you seeing in the account?
[Analyst] (J.P. Morgan): First off, we'll see you guys in a few days at AAO. I just wanna ask a question on the increase in the LDD sales force.
Well first off we'll see you guys in a few days so I just want to ask a question on the.
The increase in the elderly salesforce.
Ryan Zimmerman: You know, I guess, what are you seeing in the accounts, that, you know, kind of accelerating that process? I think it's a good signal, but I would imagine, you know, there's something underlying that that's helping you think about that. You know, certainly with the LAL rapid and expanded force that, you know, increases utilization. Also, my other question to that is what do you expect, you know, when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kind of consistent LAL usage? Thank you.
I guess what are you seeing in the account.
That kind of accelerating that process.
Speaker 7: that kind of accelerating that process. I think it's a good signal, but I would imagine there's something underlying that that's helping you think about that.

Also, my other question to that is, what do you expect when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kind of consistent LAL usage? Thank you.
It's a good signal, but I would imagine there's something underlying at the pump are you thinking about that and then certainly with the rapid.
And expanded enforced.
The increase in utilization I also my other question to that is is what do you expect when you put these people in place in terms of uptick and how fast that could start to generate kind of consistent L. A L usage. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Thank you Ryan, maybe I'll take the first part of that question and Shelley will take the second.
Thank you Ryan maybe I'll take the first part of that question and Charlie will take the second.
Ron Kurtz: Thank you, Ryan. Maybe I'll take the first part of that question, and Shelley will take the second. You know, one factor in the rate of our hiring of sales folks is just the success that we've had in finding extremely qualified and interested people in joining RxSight. That's something that we've opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring. Also, you know, we're obviously. This is a very large market, and there's an established pattern of relatively smaller territories within that where salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again educate the field on the benefits of RxSight technology. Again, that combination of quality and range of vision.
Speaker 3: You know, one factor in the rate of our hiring of sales folks is just the success that we've had in finding extremely qualified and interested people in joining our excite. And so that's something that we've, you know, opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring.
One factor in.
The rate of our <unk>.
Hiring of sales.

Opportunistically taken advantage of to accelerate our hiring.
Speaker 3: Also, we're obviously, this is a very large market, and there's an established pattern of relatively smaller territories within that, where salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again, educate the field on the benefits of RXI technology. Again, that combination of quality and range of vision.
Also we're obviously this is a very large market and there is an established pattern of.
Relatively smaller territories within that where salespeople can really go deep into their territories and again educate the field on the benefits of our <unk> technology again that combination of quality and range of vision.
Ron Kurtz: I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
Speaker 3: So I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
So I would say those are the main factors in determining the pace of hiring.
Shelley Thunen: Of course, we just started hiring for our LAL sales team. We have 5 on now and expect to have 18 by the end of Q2. Again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly. You know, one of the things that we see in terms of adoption when you measure it, of course, is we're adding LDD so rapidly, which is good. We're increasing the number per quarter. We find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training new doctors as well as training new technicians, even in the ASC. So while they are very important and are in the practices all the time, we think we need the additional help with the LAL sales team. This is a relatively new team.
Speaker 4: And of course, we just started hiring for our LAL failed team. We have five on now and I expect to have 18 by the end of the second quarter. Again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly.
We just.
It started hiring for our <unk> sales team, we have five on now and expect to have 18 by the end of the second quarter again, we expect that pace to come up pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that we see in terms of adoption, when you measure it, of course, is we're adding L, D, D, D so rapidly, which is good. We're increasing the number per quarter.
One of the things that we see in terms of adoption and you measure and of course as we're adding vps, so rapidly which has got through increasing the number per quarter and of course, it takes a while for people to get going and.
Speaker 4: And of course, it takes a while for people to get going. And we find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training and training new doctors, as well as training new technicians even in the AOC.
We find that our clinical apps folks are really busy on training and training new doctors as well as training new technicians, even in the AFC.
Speaker 4: So while they are very important and in the practices all the time, we simply need the additional help with the LAL sales team.
So while they are very important.
In the practices all the time, we think we need the additional help with Elliott with sales teams. This is a relatively new team. They are just starting out but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product.
Speaker 4: This is a relatively new piece. They're just starting out, but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education.
Shelley Thunen: They're just starting out, but we would expect that the efforts that they make on education about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more LDDs. Of course, it also allows us to go back to existing customers. Some are very high adopters, and, you know, we'll be able to observe their best practices and be able to let other people know about that as well, but also to help practices that maybe haven't adopted as quickly. I think 2022 will tell us a bit more about the effectivity of that sales force, but we expect them to be effective, and they are hiring really very qualified people who've done this before for other companies.
Speaker 4: about the product as well as patient flow in the practice and how to sell the product will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more LDDs. And of course it also allows us to go back to existing customers from our very high adopters and we'll be able to...
It will be very important to us as we grow and get more and more Leds and of course. It also allows us to go back to existing customers.
<unk> are very high adopters, and we'll be able to.
Speaker 4: observe their best practices and
Serve their best practices and.
Speaker 4: and be able to let other people know about that as well, but also to help practices, maybe having adopted this quickly. So I think 2022 will tell us a bit more about the effectivity of that, of that Salesforce, but we expect them to be effective and we are hiring.
And be able to let other people know about that as well, but also to help practices maybe haven't adopted as quickly. So I think 2022 growth pillars, a bit more about the effectivity of that of that sales force, but we expect them to be effective and we are hiring.
Speaker 4: really very qualified people who've done this before.
Really.
Very qualified people who've done before is rather come from.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's very helpful. I appreciate that color. And then just the last question for me, I'll hop back in queue. You know, your pricing on the LDDs came in, I think, higher than we were expecting. And certainly the LALs, you know, too. And I appreciate the comments about fourth quarter run, you know, into the quarter thus far on the momentum. What are your expectations around pricing? You know, do you expect it to be stable? And just how to think about pricing to the two components? Thanks for taking the question.
Okay. That's very helpful. I appreciate that color and then just the last question for me and I'll hop back in queue.
Ryan Zimmerman: Okay. That's very helpful. I appreciate that color. Just the last question for me, I'll hop back in queue. You know, your pricing on the LDDs came in, I think, higher than we were expecting, and certainly the LALs, you know, too. I appreciate the comments about Q4 run, you know, into the quarter thus far on the momentum. What are your expectations around pricing? You know, do you expect it to be stable? Just how to think about pricing between the two components. Thanks for taking the questions.
Your pricing on the <unk> came in I think higher than Youre expecting.
And certainly that lay out to you and I appreciate the comments about fourth quarter ran into the quarter, thus far and the momentum what are your expectations around pricing.
Do you expect it to be stable and just how to think about pricing generally do components. Thanks for taking the questions.
Shelley Thunen: Yeah. As we think about pricing, you know, in the short run, that might be through the H1 2022, we expect it to be stable both for the LDD and the LAL.
Speaker 4: As we think about pricing, you know, in the short run, that might be through the first half of 2022. We expect it to be stable, both for the LDD and the LIO.
Yes, if we think about pricing.
In the short run that might be through the first half of 2022, we expect it to be stable both for the LDC and the layout.
Thank you.
Ryan Zimmerman: Thank you.
Yes.

Hi, This is Charles on for Larry.
[Analyst] (Wells Fargo): Hi, this is Charles on for Larry. First, congrats on a nice quarter. I know it's a little bit too early for any 2022 guidance, but I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. It looks like consensus is currently sitting at around $39 million in revenue or close to 86% yearly growth. Curious to hear your initial reactions to that number and just more generally what might be driving the growth in the next year and the primary puts and takes in 2022. Thanks.
Speaker 8: First congrats on a nice quarter. I know it's a little bit too early for any 2022 guidance, but I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

First congrats on the nice quarter.
A little bit too early from 'twenty to 'twenty coiled tubing guidance, but I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. It looks like consensus is currently sitting at around $39 million of revenue, we are close to 86% yearly growth power.
Curious to hear your initial reactions to that number and.
Just more generally what what might be driving the growth in the next year. The primary puts and takes in 2022.
Shelley Thunen: Of course. You know, you did say that it is early for 2022 guidance. We're very focused on the Q4 right now. We do see the macroeconomics continuing to improve a bit. You know, procedures are overall picking up. We do think that our individual practice patterns are more important than the macroeconomics, but we're happy to see that. The other thing that other people have commented on is while we're getting some recovery from COVID, it's more gradual than I think everybody thought, and that will be limited really by ASC availability for surgeons to practice.
Speaker 4: Of course, you know, as you did say that it is early for 2022 guidance. We're very focused on the fourth quarter right now. And we do see the macro economics continuing to improve a bit. You know, procedures are overall picking up. We do think that.
Of course.
As you did say that it is early for 2022 guidance, we're very focused on the fourth quarter right now.
And.
We do see the macroeconomics.
Continuing to improve a bit.
Procedures are overall picking up we do think that.
Speaker 4: are individual practice patterns are more important than the macroeconomics, but we're happy to see that. The other thing that other people have commented on is while we're getting some recovery from...
Our individual practice patterns are more important than the macroeconomics, but we're happy to see that the other thing that other people have commented on is while we're getting some recovery from COVID-19, it's more gradual and I think everybody thought and that will be limited really by.
Speaker 4: COVID is more gradual than I think everybody thought and that will be limited really by ASC availability for surgeons to practice.
AFC availability for surgeons to practice.
Speaker 4: And what we're really focused on as we get into the focus on it now, and it will be the same focus in 2022, is one LDD sales.
Shelley Thunen: What we're really focused on as we get into the we're focused on it now, and it'll be the same focus in 2022, is one, LDD sales, two, increasing the number of LALs at each center, and that's our LAL sales force as well that we're growing. Really underpinning all that is education about the product and the benefits that we offer. There's no other product that compares to ours in terms of visual acuity as well as no glare halos and, of course, excellent contrast vision. Ron, I think, you know, you might wanna talk about that just a little bit in terms of how we're positioning the product and what we're making sure we let people know about.
And what we're really focused on.
GAAP into <unk>.
Focused on now and will be the same focus in 2022 is one ldds sounds to increasing the number of <unk>.
Speaker 4: to increasing the number of LEALs at each center. And that's our LEAL Salesforce as well that we're growing. And really underpinning all that is education.
Ill at.
At each center and that's our sales force as well that we're growing.
And really underpinning all of that is education about.
Speaker 4: about the product and the benefits that we offer. So there's no other product that compares to ours in terms of visual acuity as well as no glare, halos, and of course, excellent contrast vision. So Ron, I think you might want to talk about that just a little bit in terms of how we're positioning the product and what we're making.
About the product and benefits that we offer so there is no other product that compares to ours in terms of visual acuity as well as no glare and halos and of course excellent contrast vision. So Ron I think you might want to talk about that just a little bit in terms of how we're positioned.
And the product and what we're making sure we let people know about.
Ron Kurtz: Yeah. I think you've done a great job at, you know, you hear other products talking about their relative comparison to other premium IOLs that have, you know, either side effects or effects on visual quality. That's simply not a factor with the LAL and we're fully comparable to a conventional monofocal IOL in that regard. That is preservation of visual quality while still delivering range of vision. That's really the reason for the product and its unique ability of the product due to its adjustability to achieve those results.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you've done a great job, but you know, you hear other products talking about their relative comparison to other premium myowels that have
Yes, I think you've done a great job.
<unk> you.
Here other products talking about their relative comparison to.
Other.
Premium wells that have.
Speaker 3: either side effects or effects on visual quality, and that's simply not a factor with the LAL, and we're fully comparable to a conventional monopocal IOL in that regard. And so that is preservation of visual quality while still delivering range of vision.
Either side effects or effects on visual quality and that's simply not a factor with the al.
And we're <unk>.
Fully comparable to a conventional monocoque, while well in that regard.
