Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017. Financial Statement Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Revenue Recognition. Our revenues arise from the sale of laser consoles, delivery devices, consumables and service and support activities. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon receipt of a purchase order and product shipment provided that no significant obligations remain and collectibility is reasonably assured. Shipments are generally made with Free-On-Board (“FOB”) shipping point terms, whereby title passes upon shipment from our dock. Any shipments with FOB receiving point terms are recorded as revenue when the shipment arrives at the receiving point. Cost is recognized as product sales revenue is recognized. The Company’s sales may include post-sales obligations for training or other deliverables. For revenue arrangements such as these, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements” In international regions, we utilize distributors to market and sell our products. We recognize revenue upon shipment for sales to these independent, third-party distributors as we have no continuing obligations subsequent to shipment. Generally our distributors are responsible for all marketing, sales, installation, training and warranty labor coverage for our products. Our standard terms and conditions do not provide price protection or stock retention rights to any of our distributors. Royalty revenues are typically based on licensees’ net sales of products that utilize our technology and are recognized as earned in accordance with the contract terms when royalties from licensees can be reliably measured and collectibility is reasonably assured, such as upon the earlier of the receipt of a royalty statement from the licensee or upon payment by the licensee. Concentration of Credit Risk. Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand and money market accounts. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore, bear minimal risk. We market our products to distributors and end-users throughout the world. Sales to international distributors are generally made on open credit terms and letters of credit. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. Historically, we have not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or a group of customers in any particular geographic area. For the three months periods ended April 1, 2017 no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues and for the three month periods ended April 2, 2016, one single customer accounted for 15% of total revenues. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no customer accounted for approximately 10% of our accounts receivable. Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recognized on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and Handling Costs. Our shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues and the associated expense is recorded in cost of revenues for all periods presented. Deferred Revenue. Revenue related to extended service contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the applicable service contract. Costs associated with these service arrangements are recognized as incurred. A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s deferred revenue balance for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 is as follows: Three Months Ended April 1, 2017 April 2, 2016 Balance, beginning of period $ 1,383 $ 1,311 Additions to deferral 280 336 Revenue recognized (302 ) (336 ) Balance, end of period $ 1,361 $ 1,311 Warranty. In March 2017, the Company began offering a 5 year warranty on the laser heads for its IQ 532/577 laser consoles. The Company has previously provided a one to two year warranty on its products, which is accrued for upon shipment of products. Actual warranty costs incurred have not materially differed from those accrued. The Company’s warranty policy is applicable to products which are considered defective in their performance or fail to meet the product specifications. Warranty costs are reflected in the statement of operations as cost of revenues. A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 is as follows: Three Months Ended April 1, 2017 April 2, 2016 Balance, beginning of period $ 603 $ 603 Accruals for product warranties 109 126 Cost of warranty claims (63 ) (119 ) Balance, end of period $ 649 $ 610 Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards. In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill. The carrying value of goodwill was $0.5 million as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then it is required to perform the two-step impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying value. However, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. As the Company uses the market approach to assess impairment, its common stock price is an important component of the fair value calculation. If the Company’s stock price continues to experience significant price and volume fluctuations, this will impact the fair value of the reporting unit and can lead to potential impairment in future periods. The Company performed its annual impairment test during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and determined that its goodwill was not impaired. As of April 1, 2017, the Company had not identified any factors that indicated there was an impairment of its goodwill and determined that no additional impairment analysis was then required. Intangible Assets. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we reviewed our long-lived assets for indicators of impairment. Based on reduced estimates of future revenues and future negative cash flow, we identified potential indicators of impairment. As a result, we compared the fair value of our long-lived assets to their carrying value. Based on our discounted future cash flow and revenue projections, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $120 thousand for a patent acquired in connection with our acquisition of Ocunetics, Inc. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. The impairment charge is not expected to result in any future cash expenditures. The following table summarizes the components of gross and net intangible asset balances: April 1, 2017 December 31, 2016 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Remaining Amortization Life Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Customer relations 240 112 128 9.0 Years 240 108 132 For the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, amortization expense totaled $4 thousand for each period.

Future estimated amortization expense (in thousands): Fiscal Year: 2017 (nine months) $ 12 2018 16 2019 16 2020 16 2021 16 Thereafter 52 Total $ 128

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	5. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as described above were as follows: As of April 1, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds $ 23,290 $ — $ — $ 23,290 $ 8,270 $ — $ — $ 8,270 Liabilities: Earn-out liability $ — $ — $ 634 $ 634 $ — $ — $ 694 $ 694 The Company’s Level 1 financial assets are money market funds whose fair values are based on quoted market prices. The Company does not have any Level 2 financial assets or liabilities. The fair value of the earn-out liability arising from the acquisitions of RetinaLabs, Inc. and Ocunetics, Inc. is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy since it is based on significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs include projected royalties and discount rates to present value the payments. A significant increase (decrease) in the projected royalty payments in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement and a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The fair value of the earn-out liability is calculated on a quarterly basis by the Company based on a collaborative effort of the Company’s operations, finance and accounting groups as additional information becomes available. Any change in the fair value adjustment is recorded in the statement of operations of that period. The following table presents quantitative information about the inputs and valuation methodologies used for our fair value measurements classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of April 1, 2017. As of April 1, 2017 Fair Value (in thousands) Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Input Weighted Average (range) Earn-out liability $ 634 Discounted cash flow Projected royalties (in thousands) $2,067 Discount rate 11.19% (11.19% - 27.00%) As of December 31, 2016 Fair Value (in thousands) Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Input Weighted Average (range) Earn-out liability $ 694 Discounted cash flow Projected royalties (in thousands) $2,154 Discount rate 11.22% (11.22% - 27.00%) A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s earn-out liability (Level 3 liability) for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 is as follows: Three Months Ended (in thousands) April 1, 2017 April 2, 2016 Balance as of beginning of the period $ 693 $ 1,005 Payments against earn-out (84 ) (96 ) Change in fair value of earn-out liability 25 11 Balance as of the end of the period $ 634 $ 920 The earn-out liability is included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock Based Compensation	6. Stock Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors, including employees stock option awards, restricted stock and restricted stock units in accordance with ASC 718 , “Compensation – Stock Compensation” The Company values options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Restricted stock and time-based restricted stock units are valued at the grant date fair value of the underlying common shares. Performance-based restricted stock units with market conditions are valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates assumptions for the holding period, risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and dividend yield. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. For the three months ended April 1, 2017, the only active stock-based compensation plan was the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The terms of awards granted during the three months ended April 1, 2017 were consistent with those described in the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Summary of Stock Options The following table summarizes information regarding activity under the Incentive Plan during the three months ended April 1, 2017: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Aggregate Intrinsic Value (thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2016 470,985 $ 8.69 Granted 38,000 $ 14.61 Exercised (27,447 ) $ 5.94 Canceled or forfeited (3,000 ) $ 11.04 Outstanding as of April 1, 2017 478,538 $ 9.31 $ 1,528 The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted under the Incentive Plan as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $5.44 and $4.14 per share for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, respectively. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value of stock-based awards (options) with the following weighted average assumptions: Three Months Ended April 1, 2017 April 2, 2016 Average risk free interest rate 1.78 % 1.20 % Expected life (in years) 4.55 years 4.55 years Dividend yield —% —% Average volatility 42 % 47 % Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility is based on analysis of the Company’s stock price history over a period commensurate with the expected term of the options, trading volume of the Company’s stock, look-back volatilities and Company specific events that affected volatility in a prior period. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the history of exercises and cancellations on all past option grants made by the Company, the contractual term, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. No dividend yield is included as the Company has not issued any dividends and does not anticipate issuing any dividends in the future. The following table shows stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016: Three Months Ended April 1, 2017 April 2, 2016 Cost of revenues $ 36 $ 51 Research and development 44 32 Sales and marketing 73 40 General and administrative 239 99 $ 392 $ 222 Stock-based compensation expense capitalized to inventory was immaterial for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016. Occasionally, the Company will grant stock-based instruments to non-employees. During the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, the amount of stock-based compensation related to non-employee options was not material. Information regarding stock options outstanding, vested and expected to vest and exercisable as of April 1, 2017 is summarized below: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic (thousands) Options outstanding 478,538 $ 9.31 4.52 $ 1,528 Options vested and expected to vest 450,850 $ 9.12 4.44 $ 1,498 Options exercisable 237,456 $ 7.05 3.63 $ 1,150 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing price as of April 1, 2017, that would have been received by option holders had all option holders exercised their stock options as of that date. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 was approximately $226 thousand and $285 thousand, respectively. As of April 1, 2017, there was $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements under the Incentive Plan.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share	8. Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, and the release (vesting) of restricted stock units and awards and are calculated under the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares from unexercised stock options, and unvested restricted stock units and awards are excluded from the computation for periods in which we incur a net loss or if the exercise price of such options is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, stock options to purchase 799,016 and 205,012 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted net loss per common share is provided as follows: Three Months Ended April 1, 2017 April 2, 2016 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (1,866 ) $ 101 Denominator: Weighted average shares of common stock (basic) 11,518 10,034 Effect of dilutive preferred shares Effect of dilutive stock options — 86 Effect of dilutive contingent shares — 20 Weighted average shares of common stock (diluted) 11,518 10,140 Per share data: Basic net (loss) income per share $ (0.16 ) $ 0.01 Diluted net (loss) income per share $ (0.16 ) $ 0.01

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Statement Presentation	Financial Statement Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on our operating results.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition. Our revenues arise from the sale of laser consoles, delivery devices, consumables and service and support activities. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon receipt of a purchase order and product shipment provided that no significant obligations remain and collectibility is reasonably assured. Shipments are generally made with Free-On-Board (“FOB”) shipping point terms, whereby title passes upon shipment from our dock. Any shipments with FOB receiving point terms are recorded as revenue when the shipment arrives at the receiving point. Cost is recognized as product sales revenue is recognized. The Company’s sales may include post-sales obligations for training or other deliverables. For revenue arrangements such as these, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements” In international regions, we utilize distributors to market and sell our products. We recognize revenue upon shipment for sales to these independent, third-party distributors as we have no continuing obligations subsequent to shipment. Generally our distributors are responsible for all marketing, sales, installation, training and warranty labor coverage for our products. Our standard terms and conditions do not provide price protection or stock retention rights to any of our distributors. Royalty revenues are typically based on licensees’ net sales of products that utilize our technology and are recognized as earned in accordance with the contract terms when royalties from licensees can be reliably measured and collectibility is reasonably assured, such as upon the earlier of the receipt of a royalty statement from the licensee or upon payment by the licensee.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk. Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand and money market accounts. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore, bear minimal risk. We market our products to distributors and end-users throughout the world. Sales to international distributors are generally made on open credit terms and letters of credit. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. Historically, we have not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or a group of customers in any particular geographic area. For the three months periods ended April 1, 2017 no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues and for the three month periods ended April 2, 2016, one single customer accounted for 15% of total revenues. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no customer accounted for approximately 10% of our accounts receivable.
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities	Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recognized on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs. Our shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues and the associated expense is recorded in cost of revenues for all periods presented.
