Re: Laser Vision Centers, Inc.
File No. 333-5207
File No. 1-10629
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing on behalf of Laser Vision Centers, Inc. (the "Company") to
request the Commission to issue its order permitting the Company to withdraw
its pending Registration Statement on Form S-3. The Company wishes to withdraw
this offering because current market conditions have made a public offering at
this time inadvisable.
The Company has not sold or offered to sell any of the securities sought
to be registered in this Form S-3 Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
Robert W. May
