                                  Schedule 13D


Item 1.  Security and Issuer

     This  statement  relates to the Common  Stock,  $.01 par value,  of Palomar
Medical  Technologies,  Inc. (the "Issuer"),  which has its principal  executive
office at 45 Hartwell Avenue, Lexington, MA  02173.


Item 2.  Identity and Background

     The Reporting Persons are The Rockside  Foundation,  an Ohio not-for-profit
corporation ("Rockside"),  Mark T. Smith ("Smith") and Logg Investment Research,
Inc., a Nevada  corporation  involved in  investment  management  ("Logg").  The
address for Rockside is 524 North Avenue,  New Rochelle,  NY 10801.  The address
for Mr.  Smith is 7670 First  Place,  Oakwood,  OH 44146.  The  address for Logg
Investment Research,  Inc. is P.O. Box 4985,  Stateline,  NV 89449. Mr. Smith is
one of three  trustees of Rockside.  Each of the Reporting  Persons is a private
investor.  During the last five years,  none of the Reporting  Persons have been
either (i) convicted in a criminal  proceeding  (excluding traffic violations or
similar  misdemeanors);  or (ii) a party to a civil  proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is  subject  to a  judgment,  decree  or  final  order  enjoining  future
violations  of, or prohibiting  or mandating  activities  subject to, federal or
state  securities  laws or finding any violation  with respect to such laws. Mr.
Smith is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     Pursuant to a  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Securities  Purchase
Agreement")  between  the  Issuer,  Rockside  and Smith,  on July 24,  1998 (the
"Closing"),  Rockside and Smith collectively acquired 3,000,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer and 3,000,000  Warrants  (each a "Warrant" and  collectively
the "Warrants") to purchase an equivalent  number of shares of Common Stock, for
a price of $1.00 for each share of Common  Stock and  Warrant (an  aggregate  of
$3,000,000).  Rockside  purchased  1,800,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants
and Smith purchased 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants. The source of
funds was personal.  The Warrants are not  exercisable  for a period of 6 months
from the July 24,  1998  closing,  and  therefore  the  shares of  Common  Stock
issuable upon the exercise thereof are not reported herein as being beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons.

     Prior to the  Closing,  Rockside  and  Smith,  together  with  Logg,  their
investment advisor with respect to their investment in the Issuer's  securities,
had made open market  purchases  of the  Issuer's  Common  Stock for a period of
several months at prices ranging from $.75 to $1.75 per share. Immediately prior
to the Closing,  the aggregate  holdings of the Reporting Persons were 1,621,100
shares of Common Stock. The source of funds for such purchases was personal.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     The Reporting  Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock and Warrants for
investment purposes. Although they have no current intention to do so, depending
on market  conditions  and other  factors,  the  Reporting  Persons  may acquire
additional  shares,  or sell all or a portion of their shares of Common Stock or
Warrants.  The Reporting  Persons have no plans or proposals  which relate to or
would result in any of the actions set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of
Item 4.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     See Items 7 through 13 of the Schedule 13D cover page.


Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements,  Understandings or  Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.

     Rockside and Smith entered into the Securities  Purchase Agreement with the
Issuer with respect to the issuance of 3,000,000  shares of Common Stock and the
Warrants,  and the registration of their resale of such shares as well as shares
of Common Stock  issuable upon  exercise of the Warrants.  Each of the Reporting
Persons  makes its own  investment  decisions  and  exercises  voting power with
respect to the Issuer's  securities,  but is aware of the others'  decisions and
actions.  Rockside  and Smith  receive  investment  advice  with  respect to the
Issuer's securities from Logg.
