In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders' equity present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Midwest Surgical Services,

flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

MIDWEST SURGICAL SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1998 and 1997 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
         Midwest Surgical Services, Inc. ("MSS" or the "Company") is a
         Minneapolis-based provider of cataract surgery equipment and supplies
         to rural community hospitals. The Company provides as a complete
         package the instrumentation, disposables, consumables and prosthetics
         along with a highly trained and certified surgical technician. This
         service allows the small community hospital to provide the most
         sophisticated phaco emulsification cataract surgery and other
         procedures without significant capital investment.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well
         as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash,
         accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued
         liabilities, notes payable and capitalized lease obligations. The
         estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their
         book value at April 30, 1998 and 1997, based on the nature of the
         instruments and the terms currently available to the Company.

         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
         The Company extends credit to its customers, which are primarily small
         community hospitals located in the Midwest. Management believes the
         credit risk related to its trade receivables is limited, as no single
         customer accounted for a significant amount of the Company's revenue
         and that its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.

         INVENTORY
         Inventory is stated at actual cost and consists principally of medical
         supplies. 

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 
         Property and equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and
         maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and
         amortization are computed utilizing the straight-line method. In the
         opinion of management, this method is adequate to allocate the cost of
         equipment over estimated useful lives which range from two to seven
         years.

         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
         The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets when events
         or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may
         not be recoverable. In reviewing for impairment, if the carrying value
         of an asset is greater than the sum of the undiscounted projected cash
         flows attributable to that asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The
         impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset which is
         determined based on market prices, discounted cash flows or the best
         information available.

         REVENUE
         Revenues are recognized when the surgical procedures are performed.

         COST OF REVENUES
         Cost of revenues include medical equipment depreciation, equipment
         maintenance, technician salaries and technician travel expenses and are
         recognized over the useful lives of the related equipment or when
         incurred.

         INCOME TAXES
         The Company is organized under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
         Code. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the shareholders of the S
         corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's
         taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for corporate income taxes
         has been recorded in these financial statements.

3.       401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

         MSS has a 401(k) savings plan for all employees that have completed one
         year of service and are 21 years old. Matching contributions to the
         plan are made at the discretion of the Company, subject to certain
         limitations and subject to a maximum contribution per participant. The
         Company may terminate or amend the plan at any time.

         Contributions by the Company for eligible employees to the 401(k) plan
         for the years ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 were $26,813 and $22,941,
         respectively.

4.       GAIN FROM INSURANCE RECOVERY AND LITIGATION

         During fiscal 1997, an aircraft which the Company owned crashed. The
         Company was insured for the loss and received $150,000 from the
         insurance carrier. As the aircraft was fully depreciated, this resulted
         in the recognition of a $150,000 gain from the insurance recovery.

         During fiscal 1997, the Company settled certain litigation with a
         medical equipment manufacturer in exchange for equipment with an
         estimated fair market value of $136,000. The Company recorded the
         equipment at its estimated fair value, a gain from litigation 
         settlement of $91,500 and deferred income of $44,500.  A portion of the
         gain was deferred because it is contingent on future purchases of
         supplies. The deferred income will be recognized in subsequent periods
         as supplies are purchased.  During fiscal 1998, $2,500 of the deferred
         income was recognized.

5.       ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         On March 6, 1998, MSS entered into an agreement to purchase a mobile
         cataract surgery business for $80,000 in cash and the issuance of a
         $60,000 note to the owner. The acquisition was accounted for under the
         purchase method. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to fixed
         assets with a fair market value of $10,000 and a non-compete agreement
         with the owner valued at $30,000. The remaining $100,000 was recorded
         as goodwill. The non-compete agreement and the goodwill are being
         amortized over two years.

8.       OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES

         The Company finances the purchase of medical equipment, computer
         equipment and mini-vans with 3 and 5 year leases. Under the terms of
         the lease agreements, the Company is required to purchase the
         equipment at the end of the lease term at a fixed price and
         accordingly, the leases have been accounted for as capital leases. At
         April 30, 1998, the future minimum payments under capital leases are
         as follows:

11.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is involved in litigation in the normal course of business.
         However, management does not expect that any outstanding or pending
         legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
         material adverse effect upon the Company's future results of
         operations, liquidity or financial condition.

12.      RELATED PARTIES

         In May 1997, the owners of MSS formed Refractive Surgical Resources,
         Inc. (RSR), a provider of mobile access to microsurgical equipment
         used by eye surgeons. In conjunction with its incorporation, the
         Company transferred two microkeratome machines with a net book value of
         $24,452 and RSR assumed the related capital lease obligation of
         $44,069. The transfer was recorded at the historical net book value of
         the machines and the related capital lease obligation and resulted in a
         net increase to stockholders' equity of $19,617.  MSS provides certain
         management services and subleases a portion of its offices to RSR.
         During fiscal year 1998, MSS charged RSR approximately $78,000 for
         management fees and approximately $71,000 for reimbursement of office
         rent and other administrative expenses. At April 30, 1998, RSR owed MSS
         approximately $16,000.
         
         In February 1997, the owners of MSS also formed an ophthalmic equipment
         supply company. MSS provides certain management services and subleases
         a portion of its offices to the supply company. In fiscal year 1998,
         MSS charged the supply company $80,000 in management fees and
         approximately $10,503 for reimbursement of office rent and other
         administrative expenses. Additionally, during fiscal year 1997, MSS
         charged the Company $1,965 for rent and other administrative expense.
         At April 30, 1998, MSS had a $60,000 receivable from the supply company
         related to these fees. The supply company also purchased $2,684 and
         $130,480 of inventory from MSS during fiscal years 1998 and 1997,
         respectively, while MSS purchased  $12,316 and $548 of inventory from
         the supply company during fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively.
         

         Four stockholders of MSS also own a company that supplies lasers used
         in mobile cataract services. During fiscal years 1998 and 1997, MSS
         laser purchases from the laser supply company totaled $68,569 and
         $165,127, respectively. At April 30, 1998 and 1997, MSS owed the
         company $825 and $9,366, respectively. MSS also subleases office space 
         to the laser supply company. During fiscal years 1998 and 1997, MSS 
         charged the company $8,433 and $4,772, respectively for reimbursement
         of office rent and other administrative expenses.

        
         A stockholder of MSS owns a company specializing in intraocular lens
         sales. During fiscal year 1998 and 1997, MSS purchased $198,044 and
         $245,030 in lenses, respectively, from the company. At April 30, 1998,
         and 1997, MSS owed the company $1,089 and $19,445, respectively. During
         fiscal years 1998 and 1997, MSS incurred certain costs for equipment
         rentals and selling expenses on behalf of the lens company which
         totaled $43,032 and $26,463, respectively. The lens company has agreed
         to reimburse MSS for these costs. At April 30, 1998 and 1997, MSS was
         due $1,089 and $2,617, respectively, from the lens company.

         A stockholder of MSS also provides consulting services to the Company.
         Fees for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 were $35,000 and $30,000,
         respectively. At April 30, 1998, and 1997, MSS owed the stockholder

         In January 1996, four stockholders of MSS borrowed $100,000 from the
         Company to purchase an interest in an aircraft cooperative. During
         fiscal 1998, MSS purchased the stockholder's interest in the
         cooperative for $130,000 in exchange for the cancellation of the
         original note and the issuance of a $30,000 non-interest bearing note
         payable to the stockholders. Subsequent to the purchase, the Company
         determined that its investment was impaired and wrote it down to the
         $74,000 estimated fair value resulting in a $56,000 charge to earnings.
         MSS recognized $9,600 and $12,416 of interest income from the note
         during fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, it also
         incurred $18,353 of expenses during fiscal year 1997 related to use of 
         the aircraft. Subsequent to April 30, 1998, the investment in the 
         aircraft cooperative was sold.

         The three principal stockholders have personally guaranteed the
         Company's obligations under its capital leases and the note with
         Fidelity Bank. One stockholder has also personally guaranteed the
         Company's obligations under its office lease.

13.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In July 1998, MSS sold their investment in an aircraft cooperative for
         $74,000. No gain or loss resulted from this transaction.

         On June 5, 1998, MSS sold their ownership interest in an aircraft for
         $625,000. The proceeds were used principally to repay the debt
         associated with original purchase of the interest. The sale resulted in
         a gain of approximately $50,000. No gain or loss was recognized on the
         extinguishment of the debt.

         On July 1, 1998, MSS purchased the stock of Perry Surgical, a North
         Carolina-based provider of mobile cataract services, for $305,000 in
         cash and $124,000 of notes. The purchase agreement provides for the
         payment of additional amounts based on revenues earned in the two years
         following the acquisition. MSS also entered into a one year consulting
         agreement with the two principal owners of Perry Surgical for $120,000.

         On July 5, 1998, 300 options to purchase the Company's common stock
         were exercised, and on November 30, 1998, the remaining 300 stock
         options were exercised. Proceeds from these option exercises totaled
         $80,000.

         In November 1998, MSS declared a dividend of $206,000 which will be 
         paid in April 1999.

         As of December 4, 1998, the outstanding stock of MSS was purchased by
         Laser Vision Centers, Inc. ("LVCI") for an initial payment of $3.8
         million in cash and notes, with potential additional consideration of
         up to $8.25 million in cash and LVCI common stock based on the
         performance of MSS through July 2001.

Midwest Surgical Services, Inc.
Notes to Historical Financial Statements


1.            The unaudited interim financial statements as of October 31, 1998
              and October 31, 1997, include all normal recurring adjustments
              which management considers necessary for a fair presentation. The
              results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
              indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
              fiscal year.

2.            Midwest Surgical Services, Inc. (MSS) elected S corporation status
              under the provisions of the Internal Revenue code. As such, all
              income and losses flow through to the shareholders who are liable
              for all applicable taxes. Accordingly, no provision or credit has
              been made for federal and state income taxes.

3.            On July 1, 1998, MSS purchased the stock of Perry Surgical, a
              North Carolina-based provider of mobile cataract services, for
              $305,000 in cash and $124,000 of notes. The purchase agreement
              provides for the payment of additional amounts based on revenues
              earned in the two years following the acquisition. MSS also
              entered into a one year consulting agreement with the two
              principal owners of Perry Surgical for $120,000. The unaudited pro
              forma MSS results from operations assuming that the Perry
              acquisition was consummated as of May 1, 1997 are as follows:

REFRACTIVE SURGICAL RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

         Refractive Surgical Services, Inc. ("RSR" or the "Company") is a
         Minneapolis based provider of mobile microkeratome access. The
         microkeratome is a microsurgical device which is used by eye surgeons
         in conjunction with the excimer laser to perform laser in situ
         keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures. RSR is the world's largest provider
         of access to microkeratome technology.

         RSR was incorporated on May 1, 1997 by the principal stockholders of
         Midwest Surgical Services, Inc. ("MSS"), a provider of access to
         ophthalmic equipment and other medical supplies, and an executive
         formerly with Chiron Ophthalmics, the manufacturer of the
         microkeratomes RSR provides.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well
         as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS         
         For purposes of financial reporting, the Company has determined that
         the fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash,
         accounts receivable, and capitalized lease obligations approximates
         book value at April 30, 1998, based on terms currently available to the
         Company in financial markets.

         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
         One customer constituted approximately 27% of the accounts receivable
         balance at April 30, 1998. Management believes the credit risk related
         to its remaining trade receivables is limited as no single customer
         accounted for a significant amount of the Company's revenue and that
         its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.

         INVENTORY
         Inventory is stated at cost and consists of general medical supplies.

         EQUIPMENT
         Equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
         are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are
         computed utilizing the straight-line method. In the opinion of
         management, this method is adequate to allocate the cost of equipment
         over its estimated useful lives which range from two to seven years.

         REVENUE
         Revenues are recognized when the surgical procedures are performed.

         COST OF REVENUES
         Cost of revenues include medical equipment depreciation, equipment
         maintenance, technician salaries and technician travel expenses and are
         recognized over the useful lives of the related equipment or when
         incurred.

3.       NOTES PAYABLE

         aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Company's 
         future results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

6.       RELATED PARTY

         MSS provides certain management services and subleases a portion of its
         offices to RSR. During fiscal 1998, MSS charged RSR approximately
         $78,000 for management fees and approximately $71,000 for office rent
         and other administrative expenses. At April 30, 1998, the Company owed
         MSS approximately $16,000.

         At the time of its incorporation, the Company retained three MSS
         employees and assumed responsibility for two MSS equipment leases (see
         Note 4).

7.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On September 1, 1998, the outstanding stock of RSR was purchased by
         Laser Vision Centers, Inc. ("LVCI") for a combination of cash and notes
         payable totaling $3.3 million. One of the minority owners of the
         Company is an outside director of LVCI. LVCI provides eye surgeons
         access to excimer lasers.

         The Company provides LVCI's customers with access to microkeratomes.
         LVCI's customers represented approximately 60% of the Company's
         revenues during the year ended April 30, 1998. For the year ended April
         30, 1998, the Company also charged LVCI approximately $117,000 for
         certain services and supplies it provided directly to LVCI. At April
         30, 1998, the Company had $81,916 in receivables from LVCI.

              and August 31, 1997, include all normal recurring adjustments
              which management considers necessary for a fair presentation. The
              results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
              indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
              fiscal year.


2.            Refractive Surgical Resources, Inc. (RSR) elected S corporation
              status under the provisions of the Internal Revenue code. As such,
              all income and losses flow through to the shareholders who are

         Item 7(b) - Pro Forma Financial Information, including Combined
         Statements of Operations for the year ended April 30, 1998 and for the
         six months ended October 31, 1998, Combined Balance Sheets as of
         October 31, 1998 and Notes to the Condensed Pro Forma Financial
         Statements

         On September 1, 1998, Laser Vision Centers, Inc. (LVCI) acquired all of
         the outstanding stock of Refractive Surgical Resources, Inc. (RSR), for
         $680,000 in cash (including $212,000 of transaction expenses) and $2.1
         million in notes payable/future payments (of which $1.1 million is due
         within one year). The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
         method of accounting and resulted in the recognition of goodwill of
         $2.6 million. RSR provides microkeratome access and the related
         disposable blades used by ophthalmologists during the LASIK procedure.

         On December 4, 1998 LVCI acquired all of the outstanding stock of
         Midwest Surgical Services, Inc. (MSS), for $2.8 million in cash and
         $1.0 million in notes payable/future payments, with potential
         additional consideration of up to $8.25 million in cash and LVCI common
         stock based on the performance of MSS through July 2001. LVCI has the
         option to pay all future payments in cash. MSS provides mobile cataract
         services to U.S. ophthalmologists primarily in small markets.

         The unaudited pro forma financial statements present a combination of
         the historical financial statements for LVCI, RSR and MSS as adjusted
         to reflect purchase transactions in accordance with the purchase method
         of accounting. Pro forma income statements are presented for the year
         ended April 30, 1998 and the six months ended October 31, 1998 as if
         the acquisitions had occurred as of May 1, 1997. A pro forma balance
         sheet is presented as of October 31, 1998 to illustrate the estimated
         effects of the acquisitions as if such events had occurred by this
         date.

         The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended
         April 30, 1998 include LVCI's, RSR's and MSS's results of operations
         for the year ended April 30, 1998. The Pro Forma Combined Statements of
         Operations for the six months ended October 31, 1998 include LVCI's
         results of operations for this period (including RSR from September 1,
         1998 to October 31, 1998), RSR's results of operations for the period
         May 1, 1998 to August 31, 1998 only, and MSS's results of operations
         for the six months ended October 31, 1998. The Pro Forma Combined
         Balance Sheets include LVCI's balance sheet (including RSR) as of
         October 31, 1998 and MSS's balance sheet as of October 31, 1998. Final
         purchase accounting adjustments will differ from the pro forma
         adjustments presented herein and described in the accompanying notes
         due to the results of operations of MSS from October 31, 1998 to the
         date of closing (December 4, 1998).

         The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on assumptions
         that management believes are reasonable and such information is
         presented for comparative and informational purposes only. The
         unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent
         what the Company's results of operations or financial condition would
         actually have been had such transactions occurred on May 1, 1997 or to
         project the Company's results of operations for any future period or
         financial condition at any future date.

(a)   Adjustment to eliminate intercompany sales from RSR to LVCI.
(b)   Selling, general and administrative expenses have been adjusted to reflect
      the increase in the amortization of goodwill attributable to the
      acquisitions of RSR and MSS. Total goodwill related to the RSR acquisition
      of $2.6 million and the MSS acquisition of $3.1 million is being amortized
      over a 15 year period.
(c)   Interest expense of $251,000 (at 8%) has been adjusted to reflect the
      interest expense on the $1.0 million of notes payable issued in connection
      with the MSS acquisition and $2.1 million issued in connection with the
      RSR acquisition. Interest income of $193,000 (at 5%) has been adjusted to
      reflect the reduction in interest income related to the $3.2 million of
      cash on hand utilized to finance the MSS acquisition and $680,000 of cash
      on hand utilized to finance the RSR acquisition.
(d)   Prior to being acquired by LVCI, RSR and MSS had elected S corporation
      status under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, all
      pre-acquisition income subsequent to this election flowed through to the
      shareholders of RSR and MSS, respectively, who were liable for all
      applicable taxes. Accordingly, no provision is presented for federal and
      state income taxes in the RSR and MSS historical Statements of Operations.

      No pro forma adjustment for income tax provision is included since any
      taxable income would be offset by the utilization of net operating loss
      carryforwards of LVCI. For purposes of recording deferred tax assets of
      LVCI, no future taxable income has been assumed given the results of
      operations of LVCI through October 31, 1998. Accordingly, LVCI's deferred
      tax asset, related primarily to net operating loss carryforwards, is fully
      reserved with an offsetting valuation allowance. Therefore any utilization
      of the net operating losses as a result of pro forma taxable income from
      MSS or RSR would result in an offsetting reduction in the valuation
      allowance.

                  Cash payment                                        $2,800,000

                  Transaction expenses                                   373,000
                                                                      ----------

                                                     Total            $4,173,000
                                                                      ==========

         The purchase price for MSS was allocated as follows:

                  Net book value of MSS assets                        $1,449,000
                  Less goodwill of MSS                                   383,000
                                                                      ----------
                     Subtotal                                          1,066,000
                  Cost in excess of net assets acquired                3,107,000
                                                                      ----------
                                                     Total            $4,173,000
                                                                      ==========

         Transaction expenses of $200,000 were accrued at October 31, 1998 and
         are included in the LVCI balance sheet at October 31, 1998.

         The former owners of MSS may earn additional consideration of up to
         $8.25 million in cash and LVCI common stock based on the performance of
         MSS through July 2001. Such amounts, if required to be paid, will be
         recorded as goodwill at that time and amortized over the remaining life
         of the goodwill recorded at acquisition.

         The historical carrying value of MSS's assets and liabilities reflects
         their fair market value on the date of acquisition.

         The tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities equal the
         financial statement values as a result of the Company's tax election to
         treat the stock purchase as an asset purchase.

         (b) To eliminate equity of MSS.
