Bob Main joined the Company in September 2005 to develop a brand for the
Company's national referral network and to expand this service within the

expand our national optical provider network for contact lens exam referrals.
He has created a plan to brand our referral network as ProNet (National
Provider Network). Our referral service and retail partnerships will report
directly to Bob, who has assembled a department to help us provide a seamless
experience for customers who are new to wearing contacts and for customers who
may not have a current contact lens prescription."

consultant for many private optometric practices and retail chains. He has
lectured internationally and is a national committee member for Prevent
Blindness America and on the Advisory Education Committee for Vision Expo

"I am excited about this opportunity at 1-800 CONTACTS. I have come to
realize that 1-800 CONTACTS has tremendous value to offer the optical
industry. ProNet will be a bridge between 1-800 CONTACTS and the OD and
Retail Optical community. I am anxious to expand our relationships with
others in the optical industry," said Bob Main.
