ITEM 1.01     ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

         On January 7, 2005, Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (the "Company") and
certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors thereunder, entered into an
amendment to the Company's existing senior credit facility (the "Amendment").
Among other things, the Amendment:

         o  reduces by 0.25% the interest rate margins applicable to the
            revolving and term credit facilities and the quarterly fees on the
            average balance of outstanding letters of credit,

         o  provides for increases by $100.0 million in the revolving loan
            commitments and an additional $100.0 million in term loan
            commitments, which amounts will be available to the Company to
            finance in part the Company's previously announced acquisition of
            VISX, Incorporated ("VISX"), subject to satisfaction of certain
            conditions,

         o  effective upon consummation of the VISX acquisition, provides for
            amendments to some of the financial covenants (including decreases
            in the permitted maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and
            increases in the amount of capital expenditures permitted in fiscal
            year 2006 and thereafter), and other amendments related to the VISX
            acquisition, and

         o  provides for certain other amendments.


The maturity of the senior credit facility remains unchanged at June 25, 2009.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
