"Following our 19% revenue growth in 2009 over 2008, we expected the economy and other market factors to dampen or hold our revenue growth to last year's levels," stated Gordon Wong, Vice President of Finance for Optovue. "However, a significant order rate increase from December 2009 into -- and throughout -- our first quarter in 2010 surpassed our expectations for both the top line revenue and gross profits. With the FDA clearance of the iVue compact OCT system in April, we are continuing through Q2 and with significant top line growth momentum that we expect to continue through the remainder of this year."
