Icon spokesman Joe Krupa said about 50 Lasik Vision patients in Hawaii still await treatment.

Icon has not yet assumed the liabilities of Lasik Vision, meaning it is not refunding any deposits, Krupa said.It is unclear whether Icon would pay back deposits once it buys Lasik Vision, since the purchase agreement has not been finalized, Krupa said.
...
For those who have paid the deposit and want to go forward with either surgery or post-operative correction, Pan-Pacific will waive the cost for any procedures promised by Lasik Vision, but charge additional fees for work not covered by Lasik Vision's package deal for Hawaii, Krupa said.

Milad Estivan, marketing director for Pan-Pacific, acknowledged that many Lasik Vision customers have been upset with the sudden change.

He said Pan-Pacific just started calling Lasik Vision patients after retrieving its appointment calendar on Friday.

"The Lasik Vision offices and employees should have had a system to get ahold of these people," he said.
