Keith, the Roanoke opthalmologists want a place they can perform eye surgeries outside of the big hospitals, where the doctors say it costs too much and sometimes patients have to wait too long.
But a division of the state department of health has virtually ended the doctors' quest,
saying an independent eye surgery center would take too much business away from the hospitals.
Tonight the doctors are questioning the state's analysis.

The doctors thought they had a pretty good chance of winning state approval.
A local board of health directors overwhelmingly voted in favor of the eye center in May. [tape 98-37 at 20:49]
But apparently the state saw things Carilion's way.
The health-care giant argued it would lose three-million dollars a year if the eye doctors took their business elsewhere.
Today the state agreed Carilion depends on that income, and without it, service would suffer everywhere -- including the emergency room.

The doctors haven't decided whether they'll keep pressing for the eye center.
