Schedule 13D"), relating to the Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.10 per
share (the "Shares"), of ESC Medical Systems Ltd., an Israeli corporation
(the "Company"). Each of the Barnard J. Gottstein Revocable Trust, Barnard
J. Gottstein, as trustee of the Barnard J. Gottstein Revocable Trust, and
Barnard J. Gottstein, as an individual (collectively, the "Reporting
Persons"), are filing this Amendment to update the information with respect
to the Reporting Persons' purposes and intentions with respect to the

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented as follows:
On June 17, 1999, the legal representatives of Messrs. Genger
and Gottstein filed three motions in an Israeli court, seeking declaratory
relief on the validity of their proxies, for an injunction against the
trustee of the Company's stock option plans from voting the shares
purportedly held by the trustee, and for an order of contempt of court for
the Company's failure to deliver in a timely manner to Messrs. Genger and
Gottstein a complete list of all shareholders of the Company. The hearing
on at least one of the motions is scheduled to occur on June 22, 1999. In
addition to filing a motion, Messrs. Genger and Gottstein have questioned
the legal representative of the Company as to why, if the Company seeks to
have the trustee vote such shares at the June 23 meeting of shareholders,
the Company has failed to file any Schedule 13D or 13G with the Securities
and Exchange Commission disclosing the Company's ownership and intention
with respect to such shares.
Other than as described above and as previously described in the
Original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in (although they reserve the
right to develop such plans or proposals) any transaction, change or event
specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D.
