Irvine-Based EyeSys Files for Bankruptcy

EyeSys Technologies Inc., an Irvine manufacturer and supplier of eye products, has filed for bankruptcy protection, less than a month after Premier Laser Systems Inc., its parent company, filed for bankruptcy petition.

In its bankruptcy filing, EyeSys listed assets of between $1 million and $10 million and liabilities of between $100,000 and $500,000.

Premier, which acquired EyeSys in 1997, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early March after shutting down its operations and laying off almost all its employees.

EyeSys executives could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
