                            MANUFACTURING SUPPLY AGREEMENT



     This MANUFACTURING SUPPLY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated this 19th 
day of July, 1995, is made by and between Vista Medical Technologies 
("Vista"), a California Corporation, located at 2752 Loker Avenue West, 
Carlsbad, California 92008 and KAISER ELECTRO-OPTICS, INC. ("KEO"), a 
California Corporation, located at 2752 Loker Avenue West, Carlsbad, 
California 92008.

                                       RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Vista has developed and owns exclusive rights to a proprietary 
Medical Head Mounted Display ("MHMD"); and

     WHEREAS, KEO has developed Head Mounted Displays ("HMD") for nonmedical 
markets, provided development services for Vista's MHMD and possesses certain 
know-how and manufacturing technology related to HMDs; and

     WHEREAS, Vista desires to have KEO manufacture the display optical 
subassembly of its MHMD and any reasonable functional derivative thereof, 
such subassemblies hereinafter referred to as "Product'; and

     WHEREAS, KEO desires to manufacture Product and to meet Vista's 
reasonable requirements as to competitive price, delivery, and quality;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above matters and of the 
covenants contained herein, Vista and KEO agree as follows:

                                      AGREEMENT

     1.   PREFERRED SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP:  During the term of this 
Agreement, KEO shall be Vista's preferred supplier of Product, and Vista 
shall contract with KEO to supply up to 100%, but not less than 75%, of its 
requirements for Product.  

<PAGE>

Similarly, KEO shall not supply HMDs to any direct competitor of Vista in the 
medical marketplace.

     2.   PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:  KEO will supply Product to Vista 
consisting of the head-mounted display optical subassembly of the MHMD, in 
accordance with specifications defined prior to placing of a purchase order 
by Vista and acceptance by KEO.  All modifications of the Product must be 
mutually agreed upon in writing by Vista and KEO and documented by Vista 
according to current GMP (Good Management Practices) then in effect.

     3.   PRODUCT CONFORMITY:  In the event of test results which show a lack 
of Product conformity to quality or specifications provided and mutually 
agreed to, KEO will repair or replace the Product within a reasonable time.  
Failure to repair or replace non-conforming products, as defined in the 
purchase orders and agreed upon specifications, within eight (8) weeks shall 
be considered a failure to supply.

     4.   PURCHASE ORDERS:  KEO will accept each purchase order submitted by 
Vista hereunder that conforms with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event 
that pre-printed terms on Vista's purchase order are in conflict with this 
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

     5.   VISTA'S FORECAST:  Vista will provide KEO with monthly non-binding 
rolling forecasts of its anticipated requirements for Product for the 
following twelve (12) months.  However, the first (3) months of this rolling 
forecast, as well as the mutually agreed to purchase of long-lead items of 
significant value required to meet the forecast beyond the first (3) months, 
will be binding to both parties.  KEO agrees to 


                                       2
<PAGE>

meet Vista's reasonable schedule requirements; once agreed, repeated failure 
to meet delivery schedules shall be considered a failure to supply.

     6.   COMPETITIVE PRICING:  For the first year, the price of the Product 
sold by KEO to Vista will be that price agreed to be mutually acceptable 
prior to the start of production.  KEO's pricing for Vista's Product will 
remain competitive over time to that generally charged for similar OEM 
products of the same performance level in the medical marketplace.  Failure 
to remain competitive, according to evidence documented by Vista, shall be 
considered a failure to supply.

     7.   REGULATORY APPROVAL:  Vista shall be solely responsible for 
obtaining any regulatory approvals it requires to market and sell its 
products.  KEO agrees to provide Vista with all specified information and 
materials required for the purpose of obtaining any regulatory approvals.  
Vista will require KEO to manufacture Product in accordance with Vista's 
specified GMP requirements for suppliers.  Failure to conform shall be 
considered a failure to supply.

     8.   INSURANCE:  KEO shall maintain product liability insurance in 
effect to cover any manufacturing deficiencies in its Product caused by 
non-conformance to the product specification.  KEO agrees to indemnify, 
protect, and save Vista including Vista's dealers and agents harmless from 
and against all claims, demands, proceedings, lawsuits, and actions and any 
liabilities, expenses, or costs due directly to any product malfunction 
caused by non-conformance to the Product specification.  KEO will not be 
liable for any failures of the MHMD caused by manufacturing or design defects 
in anything other than its own manufacturing of Product.


                                       3
<PAGE>

     9.   INDEMNIFICATION:  For and in consideration of Vista's purchase of 
Product under this Agreement, KEO will indemnify, hold harmless and defend 
Vista, including Vista's dealers and agents, from and against any claim, 
demand, liability, loss, damage, suit, or judgment resulting from operational 
deficiencies caused by non-conformance to the Product specification.

     10.  KEO WARRANTIES:  KEO warrants that title to all Product delivered 
to Vista will be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security 
interests; and that all Product sold under this Agreement will conform to the 
specifications accepted by KEO, and shall be free from defects in material 
and workmanship under normal use and service.  Any Product which exhibits 
such defects in material and workmanship within 12 months from date of 
shipment to the final customer but not more than 15 months from date of 
shipment to Vista shall be repaired or replaced, at KEO's option, without 
charge, under terms of this Agreement.

          VISTA WARRANTIES:  Vista agrees to be solely responsible for any 
warranty that it extends or allows to be extended to its customers, whether 
express or implied, with respect to the Product.

     11.  TERM OF AGREEMENT:  The duration of this Agreement is three (3) 
years from the date of execution provided that it is not terminated sooner 
pursuant to paragraph 12 below.  After termination, the following provisions 
will survive and remain in force: paragraphs 8 (Insurance), 9

Termination), 16 (Applicable Law), 17 (Relationship of Parties), 20

termination for compensation, reimbursement, or damages on account of the 
loss of prospective profits or anticipated sales, or on account of
