Business Editors

ADVISORY...

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT: On May 23, 2003, FDA approved the VISX (NYSE:EYE) WaveScan(TM)
      system for customized wavefront-guided laser eye surgery in the
      treatment of nearsightedness. This highly customized approach
      creates a new laser eye surgery procedure called CustomLASIK
      that improves both visual acuity, and the overall quality of
      vision, such as increased visual crispness and clarity.

WHO: Renowned San Diego and Orange County Ophthalmologist, Dr.
     Franklin Lusby is available to comment on this new technology.
     TLC Laser Eye Centers located in Brea (www.tlcvision.com) is one
     of the first centers nationwide to receive this newly approved
     system.

WHY: The additional information that wavefront technology provides
     will help select the best possible treatment for each individual
     patient. Dr. Lusby will be able to provide an even better quality
     of vision to typical LASIK patients and to some additional
     patients who were in the past not candidates for conventional
     LASIK.

WHERE: TLC Laser Eye Centers, 910 E. Birch Street, Suite 350
       Brea, CA 92821
