The eye care equipment manufacturer reported total revenue of $2.4 million in 2014 compared with $1.1 million in 2013.
CEO Gerald Slemko said the company rolled out a new product last June that helped improve its gross margins, and that it continues to garner support from leaders in the eye care profession.

As of Dec. 31, the company had $80,016 in cash, compared with just under $1.9 million at the same time one year ago.
