     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     New York, NY, June 2, 1995 -- American Vision Centers, Inc. announced
     today that its wholly owned subsidiary, NI Acquiring Corp., has accepted
     for payment all shares of common stock of NuVision, Inc. (NUVI-NASDAQ/NCS)
     tendered pursuant to its $7.60 per share tender offer, which expired at
     midnight, June 1, 1995.

     Based on a preliminary count by the depository, 2,627,510 shares, or
     approximately 97.4 percent of the presently outstanding shares, were
     validly tendered by the June 1 expiration date.  American Vision expects
     to begin mailing checks to tendering shareholders as soon as practicable. 


     All shares not purchased in the tender offer will be exchanged for $7.60
     per share in cash in a merger in which NuVision will become a wholly owned
     subsidiary of American Vision.  The merger, which is expected to be
     consummated later today, will not require a meeting or vote of NuVision's
     shareholders.
