                                                               Exhibit 10.11 (J)

                             LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of October 1, 1995, by
and between Laserscope (the "Borrower") whose address is 3052 Orchard Drive, San
Jose, CA 95134, and Silicon Valley Bank (the "Lender") whose address is 3003
Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Among other indebtedness which
may be owing by Borrower to Lender, Borrower is indebted to Lender pursuant to,
among other documents, a Promissory Note, dated June 7, 1991, in the original
principal amount of Three Million and 00/100 Dollars  ($3,000,000.00) (the
"Note").  The Note has been modified pursuant to Change in Terms Agreements
dated April 10, 1992, pursuant to which, among other things, the principal
amount of the Note was increased to Five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($5,000,000.00), and April 15, 1993, and certain Loan Modification Agreements
dated April 15, 1994, July 15, 1994, and August 1, 1995. The Note, together with
other promissory notes from Borrower to Lender, is governed by the terms of a
Business Loan Agreement, dated June 7, 1991, between Borrower and Lender, as
such agreement may be amended from time to time (the "Loan Agreement").

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender shall be referred to
as the "Indebtedness."

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together
with all other documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness shall be
referred to as the "Security Documents".  Hereinafter, the Security Documents,
together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall
be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents."

2.       DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

         A.   MODIFICATION(S) TO THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

              1.   Lender hereby waives Borrower's existing default under the
                   Loan Agreement by virtue of Borrower's failure to comply 
                   with the Tangible Net Worth, Quick Ratio and Profitability
                   Covenants as of quarter ending September 30, 1995. Lender's
                   waiver of Borrower's compliance of these covenants shall
                   apply only to the foregoing period

                   Lender's agreement to waive the above-described default 
                   (1) in no way shall be deemed an agreement by the Lender to
                   waive Borrower's compliance with the above-described 
                   covenants as of all other dates and (2) shall not limit or
                   impair the Lender's right to demand strict performance of 
                   these covenants as of all other dates and (3) shall not
                   limit or impair the Lender's right to demand strict 
                   performance of all other covenants as of any date.

3.       CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended
wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

4.       NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor
signing below) agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the
obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness.

5.       CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing
below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness,
Lender is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements,
as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents.  Except as expressly modified
pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan
Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  Lender's agreement to
modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification
Agreement in no way shall obligate Lender to make any future modifications to
the Indebtedness.  Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute
a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower
to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents,
unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing.  No maker,
endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification
Agreement. The terms of this Paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification
Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

    This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written
above.
