I can tell you that you DO want someone who has done many procedures. You DON'T want one who runs the newspaper ad for $499/eye and does 50 operations a day just like you don't want someone to whip you up a piece of perl script that they haven't tested a few times and put it live on your server.
Check out the web site http://www.la-sight.com/ There is a really good volume of self-education information on there as well as flash stuff that illustrates how the eye works, how the procedure works, etc. Obviously the site belongs to the Dr., but you'll find this one pretty balanced in how everything is presented.
I see how the directional antenna on the base station can transmit to the roaming laptop that is far away. But, the roaming laptop has a standard internal omnidirectional antenna, how does it transmit back? When doing 802.11b over long distances, the directional antenna is needed on BOTH sides.

Don't forget about the latency. Ping times of 800ms I would guess.
