Eyefinity Announces Alliance Partnership with Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.

FOLSOM, CA, January 16, 2004 -- Eyefinity, the optical industry’s most widely used Internet portal, and The Spectacle Lens Group of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., a leading ophthalmic lens manufacturer, have announced a partnership to offer DEFINITY™ Lenses, a new breakthrough progressive lens, online at eyefinity.com beginning in late January, 2004.

Through this agreement, Eyefinity and The Spectacle Lens Group will work together to create a co-branded online catalog that features DEFINITY™ Lenses, showcases product availability and offers the exclusive GEMCOAT™ Multicoating System. The catalog will also highlight features and benefits of DEFINITY™ Lenses, including its patented DUAL ADD™ technology that creates a wider and sharper view. Offices can easily order through the catalog, as well as through product selection in lab orders for all patients.

"This agreement with Eyefinity allows us to continue providing eye care professionals with more convenient and efficient ways to do business," adds John Hogan, president of The Spectacle Lens Group.
