Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Includes an aggregate of 5,017.5287 shares acquired under the Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") through the purchase period that ended on October 31, 2006.
(2) This Form 4 reports transactions effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan ("Plan") that was entered into by the reporting person on February 18, 2005. Pursuant to the Plan, the reporting person (a) exercised a Rule 16b3 exempt stock option that had been granted on January 24, 2000, and which would have expired on January 24, 2007 if not sooner exercised by the reporting person, and (b) sold only such number of the shares acquired thereby as were necessary to satisfy the option's exercise price and associated taxes. The net result of this transaction is that the family trust of the reporting person has acquired an addtional 42,386 shares of the issuer's common stock. In addition, this Form 4 corrects the total number shares held by the reporting person's trust to increase the total held by one share, believed by the reporting person to be attributable to a rounding adjustment that was made at the time of the issuer's spin off in July 2002.
(3) An aggregate of 100 shares have been acquired by a stock club in which Mrs. Keleen B. Mazzo (spouse of Mr. James V. Mazzo) is one of thirteen members. Mr. Mazzo disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Mazzo is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.
(4) On June 28, 2006, the reporting person transferred to his family trust an employee stock option that had been granted on May 24, 2006. As indicated in the Form 4 filed to report this Rule 16b3 exempt stock option, the option will vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, such that the option will be fully vested on May 24, 2010 (provided applicable provisions of such option are complied with). Prior to 2006, the reporting person had transferred to his family trust all other outstanding exempt employee stock options that had been granted by the issuer, including the stock option described in Footnote (2) above.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
