Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 31, 2008, Visionary Retail Management, Inc. (“VRM”), a subsidiary of Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. (“ECCA”), entered into both Amendment No. 3 to Retail Business Management Agreement (the “Retail Amendment”) and Amendment No. 3 to Professional Business Management Agreement (the “Professional Amendment”) with Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates, PLLC (the “Practice”), such amendments to be effective between the parties as of January 1, 2008.

The Practice owns, and VRM provides management services, with respect to the optical retail store and the professional eye examination practice at 24 locations. VRM provides such management services and receives management fees under the long term management agreements that were amended by the Retail Amendment and the Professional Amendment. VRM entered into the Retail Amendment in order to document VRM and the Practice’s previous agreements with respect to certain additional management fees relating to the optical retail stores for the periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2007 and to amend the calculation of the management fee for periods from and after January 1, 2008. VRM entered into the Professional Amendment to amend the calculation of the management fee relating to the professional eye examination practice from and after January 1, 2008.

The foregoing descriptions of the Retail Amendment and the Professional Amendment are qualified in their entirety by references to the provisions of the Retail Amendment and the Professional Amendment attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
