            with respect to performance goals and measurements applicable to
            performance-based awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

6.    Terms and Conditions of Options.

      Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: Incentive Stock
Options and Nonqualified Stock Options.

      Each Option granted under this Plan will be evidenced by an Option
agreement between the Corporation and the recipient which sets forth the
exercise price of the Option, the vesting schedule (if any) of the Option, the
expiration date of the Option, and any other terms or conditions approved by the
Committee subject to the following terms and conditions:

7.    Types of Options.

            (1)   Nonqualified Stock Option. A Nonqualified Stock Option may be
                  granted to an Adviser, a Non-employee Director and a Key
                  Employee in the discretion of the Committee. The option
                  exercise price per share for the shares subject to a
                  Nonqualified Stock Option shall be determined by the
                  Committee. The option price of a Nonqualified Stock Option may
                  be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
                  on the Date of Grant but may not be less than the par value of
                  the Common Stock.

            (2)   Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option intended to
                  qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the
                  Code may be granted to a Key Employee of the Corporation, a
                  Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation in the
                  discretion of the Committee. A Key Employee of an
                  Unincorporated Affiliate is not eligible to receive an
                  Incentive Stock Option.

                  a)    No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten
                        (10) years after the earlier of the date the Plan was
                        adopted or the date the Plan was approved by the
                        shareholders pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan.

                  b)    The option exercise price per share for the shares
                        covered by a Incentive Stock Option granted to an
                        individual who on the Date of Grant owns (or who is
                        deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) more
                        than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting
                        power of all classes of stock of the Corporation (or of
                        a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation) will
                        not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the
                        Common Stock on the Date of Grant. The option exercise
                        price per share for the shares covered by a Incentive
                        Stock Option granted to an individual who on the Date of
                        Grant owns ten percent (10%) or less of the total


                                      -6-


                        combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
                        Corporation will not be less than 100% of the Fair
                        Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

                  c)    To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of
                        the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock
                        Options granted to any person are exercisable for the
                        first time during any calendar year (under all stock
                        option plans of the Corporation, its parent and
                        subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000, the Options are not
                        Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of this paragraph,
                        the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock will be
                        determined as of the time the Option with respect to the
                        Common Stock is granted. This paragraph will be applied
                        by taking Options into account in the order in which
                        they are granted.

                  d)    Each Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan may
                        be exercised only in accordance with the schedule set
                        forth in the option agreement.

      B.    Term of Options. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or
            any Option agreement, no Option will be exercisable after the
            expiration of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant. Furthermore, no
            Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who on the Date of
            Grant owns (or who is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the
            Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power
            of all classes of stock of the Corporation (or of a Parent
            Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation) will be exercisable after
            the expiration of five (5) years from the Date of Grant.

      C.    Vesting of Options. An Option will be exercisable only to the extent
            that it is vested on the date of exercise. Vesting of an Option will
            cease on the date that an optionee is no longer an employee of, or
            no longer provides services to, the Corporation, a Parent
            Corporation, Subsidiary Corporation or an Unincorporated Affiliate.
            An Option will be exercisable only to the extent it is vested on the
            date of the optionee's termination. The Committee retains the right
            to accelerate the vesting of any Option in its sole discretion.

      D.    Termination of Employment. If an optionee terminates employment or
            service for any reason other than death or full disability for six
            months, the optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option to the
            extent vested as of the optionee's termination date until the date
            that is thirty (30) calendar days after the optionee's termination
            of employment. If an optionee terminates employment or service
            because of death or full disability for six months, the optionee's
            heirs, legatees or legal representative may 


                                      -7-


            exercise any portion of the Option to the extent vested as of the
            date of the optionee's death within one (1) year of the date of the
            Optionee's death. Any outstanding vested but unexercised Option
            shall terminate on the date after the end of the thirty-day or
            one-year period, as appropriate, following the optionee's
            termination of employment. Furthermore, no Option will be
            exercisable after the expiration date stated in the stock option
            agreement executed by the Corporation and the Optionee. Each Option
            will be subject to termination before its date of expiration as
            hereinafter provided. The Committee retains the right to extend the
            expiration date of any Option following a termination of employment.

      E.    Exercise. Options may be exercised only by written notice to the
            Corporation at its head office accompanied by payment of the full
            consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised. Payment
            of the exercise price may be in cash or, in the sole discretion of
            the Committee, (1) by exchange of Common Stock of the Corporation,
            or (2) partly in cash and partly by exchange of such Common Stock.
            The value of exchanged Common Stock will be the Fair Market Value on
            the date of exercise.

      F.    Nontransferability. No Option granted under the Plan, contingent or
            otherwise, will be transferable, assignable or subject to any
            encumbrance, pledge, or charge of any nature, except by will or the
            laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of an
            optionee, an Option will be exercisable only by the optionee or by
            the optionee's legal representative. The executor or administrator
            of the estate of the optionee may transfer any rights with respect
            to such Option to the person or persons or entity (including a
            trust) entitled thereto under the will of the optionee or under the
            laws of intestacy.

8.    Stock Legend.

      The Corporation may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common
Stock purchased upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options issued under the
Plan be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following form:

            The shares evidenced by this certificate may not be sold or
            transferred prior to ______, 19__, in the absence of a written
            statement from 20/20 Laser Centers, Inc. (the "Corporation") to the
            effect that the Corporation is aware of the fact of such sale or
            transfer.

      The blank contained in such legend shall be filled in with the date that
is the later of: (A) one year and one day after the date of exercise of such
Incentive Stock Option or (B) two years and one day after the date of grant of
such Incentive Stock Option. Upon delivery to the Corporation, at its principal
executive office, of a written 


                                      -8-


statement to the effect that such shares have been sold or transferred prior to
such date, the Corporation does hereby agree to deliver promptly to the transfer
agent for such shares, if a transfer agent is required for the transaction, a
written statement to the effect that the Corporation is aware of the fact of
such sale or transfer. The Corporation may also require the inclusion of any
additional legend which may be necessary or appropriate.

9.    Termination and Amendment of the Plan and Options.

      The Board may terminate the Plan at any time except with respect to any
outstanding Options. The Board may amend the Plan in any manner with respect to
future grants of Options and may amend outstanding Options in any manner
consistent with the Plan subject to the following limitations. No amendment will
be effective if the amendment changes the manner of determining the exercise
price of Incentive Stock Options, makes individuals who are not employees of the
Corporation or of any Parent or Subsidiary Corporation eligible to be granted
Incentive Stock Options, changes the nontransferability of the Options, alters
or impairs any rights or obligations of any outstanding Option without the
written consent of the optionee, or either increases the number of shares
eligible for issuance under the Plan or adds a class of employees eligible to be
granted Incentive Stock Options unless such additional shares or new class is
approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.

10.   Change in Capital Structure.

      A.    The existence of outstanding Options shall not affect in any way the
            right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or
            authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations
            or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or its
            business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any
            issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock
            ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the
            dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or
            transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other
            corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
            otherwise.

      B.    If the Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of
            shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock
            dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of
            the Common Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation
            therefore in money, services or property, then (1) the number,
            class, and per share price of shares of Common Stock subject to
            outstanding Options hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted in
            such a manner as to entitle an optionee to receive upon exercise of
            an Option, for the same aggregate cash consideration, the same total
            number and class of shares as he would have received had the
            optionee exercised his or her Option in full


                                      -9-


            immediately prior to the event requiring the adjustment; and (2) the
            number and class of shares then reserved for issuance under the Plan
            shall be adjusted by substituting for the total number and class of
            shares of Common Stock then reserved that number and class of shares
            of Common Stock that would have been received by the owner of an
            equal number of outstanding shares of each class of Common Stock as
            the result of the event requiring the adjustment.

      C.    After a merger of one or more corporations into the Corporation or
            after a consolidation of the Corporation and one or more
            corporations in which the Corporation shall be the surviving
            corporation, each optionee shall, at no additional cost, be entitled
            upon exercise of such Option to receive (subject to any required
            action by stockholders) in lieu of the number and class of shares as
            to which such Option shall then be so exercisable, the number and
            class of shares of stock or other securities to which such optionee
            would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the agreement of
            merger or consolidation if, immediately prior to such merger or
            consolidation, such optionee had been the holder of record of the
            number and class of shares of Common Stock equal to the number and
            class of shares as to which such Option shall be so exercised.

      D.    If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another
            corporation under circumstances where the Corporation is not the
            surviving corporation, or if the Corporation is liquidated, or sells
            or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another
            corporation while unexercised Options remain outstanding under the
            Plan, unless provisions are made in connection with such transaction
            for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption or
            substitution of such Options with new options covering the stock of
            the successor corporation, or parent or subsidiary thereof, with
            appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and
            prices, then all outstanding Options shall be vested as of the
            effective date of any such merger, consolidation, liquidation, or
            sale (the "corporate event").

      E.    Except as previously expressly provided, neither the issuance by the
            Corporation of shares of stock of any class, or securities
            convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property,
            or for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the
            exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
            conversion of shares or obligations of the Corporation convertible
            into such shares or other securities, nor the increase or decrease
            of the number of authorized shares of stock, nor the addition or
            deletion of classes of stock, shall affect, and no adjustment by
            reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number, class or
            price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Options.


                                      -10-


      F.    Adjustment under the preceding provisions of this section will be
            made by the Board, whose determination as to what adjustments will
            be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding, and
            conclusive. No fractional interest will be issued under the Plan on
            account of any such adjustment. No adjustment will be made in a
            manner that causes an Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to
            qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code.

11.   Taxes.

      A.    Tax Withholding. When any portion of a Nonqualified Stock Option is
            exercised, the optionee shall elect either to pay cash or to have
            the Corporation withhold from the Common Stock issued upon such
            exercise the number of shares sufficient to satisfy the
            Corporation's obligations, if any, to withhold taxes under Federal,
            state, or local law as a result of such exercise. The Fair Market
            Value of the Common Stock withheld must, as of the date the
            Nonqualified Stock Option is exercised, at least equal the aggregate
            unsatisfied withholding obligations for the portion of the Option
            that is exercised.

      B.    Tax Qualification. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan
            are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options within the
            meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and the terms of the Plan and
            Options granted hereunder shall be so construed. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, nothing in the Plan shall be interpreted as a
            representation, guarantee or other undertaking on the part of the
            Corporation that any Options are, or will be, determined to qualify
            as incentive stock options within the meaning of the Code.

12.   General Provisions.

      A.    The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any shares
            under any Option if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a
            violation by the optionee or the Corporation of any provision of any
            law, statute, or regulation of any stock exchange upon which the
            Common Stock may be listed or any governmental authority whether it
            be Federal or State. Unless a registration statement is in effect
            under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
            with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option, the
            Corporation shall not be required to issue shares upon exercise of
            any Option (1) unless the Committee has received evidence
            satisfactory to it to the effect that the optionee is acquiring such
            shares for investment and not with a view to the distribution
            thereof or (2) unless an opinion of counsel to the Corporation has
            been received by the Corporation, in a form and substance which is
            deemed acceptable by the Committee, to the effect 


                                      -11-


            that a registration statement is not required. Any determination in
            this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding and
            conclusive. In the event the shares issuable on exercise of an
            Option are not registered under the Securities Act, the Corporation
            may imprint the following legend or any other legend which counsel
            for the Corporation considers necessary or advisable to comply with
            the Securities Act:

                  "The shares of stock represented by this certificate have not
                  been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the
                  securities laws of any State and may not be sold or
                  transferred except pursuant to an effective registration
                  statement or upon receipt by the Corporation of any opinion of
                  counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
                  Corporation, that registration is not required for such sale
                  or transfer."

            The Corporation may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register
            any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. In the
            event any shares are so registered, the Corporation may remove any
            legend on certificates representing such shares. The Corporation
            shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to
            cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares pursuant
            thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental
            authority.

      B.    No optionee and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or
            through an optionee will have any right, title or interest in or to
            any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved under the Plan or
            subject to any Option except as to such shares of Common Stock, if
            any, that have been issued or transferred to such optionee or
            beneficiary.

      C.    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant
            thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and
            construed in accordance therewith.

      D.    Options may be granted under this Plan from time to time in
            substitution for stock options held by employees of other
            corporations who become employees of the Corporation or a Subsidiary
            Corporation as a result of a merger or consolidation of the
            employing corporation with the Corporation or the Subsidiary
            Corporation or the acquisition by the Corporation or a Subsidiary
            Corporation of the assets of the employing corporation, or the
            acquisition by the Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation of at
            least 50% of the issued and outstanding stock of the employing
            corporation as the result of which it becomes a Subsidiary
            Corporation of the Corporation. The terms and conditions of the
            substitute options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions
            set forth in this Plan to such extent as the Board at the time of
            grant may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or 


                                      -12-


            in part, to the provisions of the stock options for which they are
            granted in substitution, but no such variation shall be such as to
            affect the status of any such substitute option as an "incentive
            stock option" under Section 422 of the Code.

      E.    At the time of grant, the Committee may provide in connection with
            any grant made under the Plan that the shares of Common Stock
            received as a result of such grant shall be subject to (1) a right
            of first refusal pursuant to which the optionee shall be required to
            offer to the Corporation any shares that the optionee wishes to sell
            at the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and/or (2) a right
            of repurchase pursuant to which the Corporation shall have the right
            to repurchase at the then Fair Market Value any shares of Common
            Stock that the optionee acquired through the exercise of such
            Options upon the optionee's termination of employment with the
            Corporation, any Parent Corporation, Subsidiary Corporation or
            Unincorporated Affiliate, subject to such other terms and conditions
            as the Committee may specify at the time of grant. If such a right
            of first refusal or right of repurchase is included in the
            optionee's Stock Option Agreement, the execution by the optionee of
            an agreement that grants such rights to the Corporation shall be a
            condition of the exercise of the Option.

      F.    All headings in this Plan are for convenience of reference only and
            are to be ignored in construing the Plan. Any masculine pronoun
            shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the
            plural, and vice versa.

13.   Indemnification of Board and Compensation Committees

      The members of the Board of Directors and the Committee will be
indemnified by the Corporation against the reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or Option
agreements, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided
such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Corporation) or
paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it is adjudged in such
action, suit or proceeding that the member is liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of the member's duties; provided that within sixty
(60) days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a member will
in writing offer the Corporation the opportunity, at its own expense, to defend
the same. The foregoing right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors or administrators of each such member of the Board of
Directors and the Committee and shall be in addition to any and all other rights
of indemnification to which such members may be entitled to as a matter of law,
contract, or otherwise.


                                      -13-


14.   Limitation of Rights

      Neither the adoption and maintenance of the Plan nor the grant of Options
will:

      A.    limit the right of the Corporation, Parent Corporation, Subsidiary
            Corporation or Unincorporated Affiliate to discharge or discipline
            any employee, or otherwise terminate or modify the terms of any
            employment agreement, or

      B.    confer upon any optionee any contract or other right or interest
            other than as specifically provided in the Plan and the Option
            agreement.

15.   Effective Date of the Plan, Duration of the Plan.

      A.    On August 31, 1995, the Board adopted this Plan subject to approval
            by the shareholders of the Corporation. On September 21, 1995, the
            Board adopted certain amendments to this Plan subject to approval by
            the shareholders of the Corporation. On April 26, 1996, the
            shareholders of the Corporation approved the Plan (as amended by the
            Board on September 21, 1995) and all Options previously granted
            under the Plan. The Board adopted an additional amendment to this
            Plan on July 18, 1996 which did not require shareholder approval.
            The Plan shall be effective as of August 31, 1995.

      B.    Unless previously terminated, the Plan will terminate on August 31,
            2005, except that Options that are granted under the Plan before its
            termination will continue to be administered under the terms of the
            Plan until the Options terminate or are exercised.
