Our Vision

U.S. Vision, Inc. , a wholly-owned subsidiary of Refac Optical Group, is a retailer of optical products and services through retail optical departments licensed to operate within national and regional department stores and through a limited number of freestanding retail locations. Most recently, US Vision entered the discount warehouse optical market, with our acquisition of 156 optical centers in BJ's Wholesale Club located along the East Coast. Our retail optical departments are full-service retail vision care stores that offer an extensive selection of designer brands and private label prescription eyewear, contact lenses, sunglasses, ready-made readers and accessories. As of July 31st, 2009, we operate over 691 locations in 47 states and Canada, consisting of licensed department and freestanding stores. We currently operate retail optical departments in JCPenney, select Sears, Macy's and other various regional department stores. Our freestanding stores are located in malls and shopping centers. We also sell contacts on-line at www.JCPenneyOptical.com.

Our retail optical departments are full-service retail vision care stores that offer a wide selection of designer brands and private label prescription eyewear, contact lenses, sunglasses, ready-made readers and accessories. Also, an on-premises, independent
doctor of optometry performs complete eye examinations and prescribes eyeglasses and contact lenses. Our wide selection of designer and private label branded eyewear allows us to tailor our merchandise selection to meet the needs of our host store customers.

We operate a single, modern optical laboratory, distribution and lens grinding facility at which we fill customer orders for prescription eyewear and maintain a central inventory of frames. Customer orders are placed at the retail stores and are transmitted into the central optical laboratory daily, where the lenses are ground, cut, finished and custom fitted to optical frames in the size and style selected by the customer. The finished eyewear is then shipped to the retail store for delivery to the customer within a few working days and can be completed overnight if requested by the customer.

Since 1991, we have been a national provider of managed vision care benefits. US Vision is proud to be a member provider of the Eye Med Vision Care Network, which offers comprehensive eyewear benefits to plan participants. In fiscal 2005, approximately 30% of our revenues were attributable to purchases by participants in managed vision care programs.
