TLC Vision Corporation Amends Agreement On Sale of OccuLogix Stock

ST. LOUIS, MO, August 29, 2007: TLC Vision Corporation (NASDAQ:TLCV; TSX:TLC), North America’s premier eye care services company, today announced that it has amended the agreement regarding the sale of the remaining shares of OccuLogix, Inc. (TSX:OC)(NASDAQ:OCCX) common stock pursuant to its previously announced agreement with JEGC OCC Corp. (JEGC). Under the amended agreement, the closing date for the sale of TLCVision‘s remaining 18,770,302 shares of OccuLogix common stock will be extended for an additional forty five days to October 12, 2007. No other terms or conditions of the agreement were modified.

The agreement specifies that JEGC will acquire TLCVision’s remaining OccuLogix common stock at a price based upon the average trading price of OccuLogix common stock at the time of purchase, subject to certain minimum prices and regulatory limitations and further subject to JEGC obtaining satisfactory financing and other customary closing conditions.

Jim Wachtman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TLCVision stated, “We have extended our agreement for 45-days to give JEGC additional time to execute its recently expanded OccuLogix investment plans. We believe that completing the previously disclosed sale of TLCVision’s remaining OccuLogix shares is the clearest path to enhancing shareholder value.”

On June 22, 2007, TLCVision announced the sale of 1,904,762 shares of OccuLogix common stock to JEGC at a price of US$1.05 per share for proceeds of US$2.0 million.
