OUR BACKGROUND
Recognizing the crucial role
that managed health care would play in the coming years, Cole Vision
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cole National Corporation (NYSE:
CNJ) created Cole Managed Vision (CMV) in 1988 to bring its own unique
capabilities to the vision benefit marketplace. Since then, CMV has been
developing, marketing, and administering group vision benefit programs for
employers, health plans, trust funds, and associations nationwide. In
October of 2004, Luxottica Group, a recognized leader in eye care and
eyewear, purchased Cole National, integrating it into its Cincinnati, Ohio
based operations. Luxottica is home to optical retail giants LensCrafters
and Sunglass Hut, as well as EyeMed Vision Care, a leading managed vision
care organization.
The integration of Cole Managed Vision and EyeMed Vision Care will
result in one of the absolute best values in vision care. To obtain a
