                                     ____________

                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  

               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 59                
          through 75.  These claims constitute all of the claims                      
          remaining in the application.                                               

               Appellant’s invention pertains to a method of reshaping                
          an outside surface of a cornea of an eye.  A basic                          
          understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading                
          of exemplary claims 59 and 73, copies of which appear in                    
          “APPENDIX 1" to the main brief (Paper No. 21).
