                           SIGHT RESOURCE CORPORATION

                                  Announcement



CINCINNATI, OHIO, December 4, 2003 - SIGHT RESOURCE CORPORATION (OTC: VISN), a
provider of primary eye care products, services, and managed vision care
programs, today announced that its previously reported financial results for the
first three quarters of fiscal 2002 will be restated. This restatement is the
result of the review and correction of certain entries and completion of related
account reconciliations. The review process was conducted by an independent firm
retained to examine the entries and assist in the review of quarterly balances.
The review into the cause of these errors is ongoing and a determination has not
yet been made regarding whether the inaccuracies were caused by an error in
judgment, negligence, or intentional action. A portion of the restatement
includes the correction of the Company's revenue recognition policy, the effect
of which is to reduce revenue related to sales recorded for merchandise that has
not yet been delivered to customers. The issuance of restated quarterly
financials will be made upon completion of the investigation referenced above,
KPMG's review of the restatement analysis and completion of the audit of the
Company's financial statements for the full fiscal year ended December 28, 2002.
The Company will also be implementing improvements in its financial reporting
and internal controls.

The Company has not yet reported results of operations for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2002 or for the full fiscal year ended December 28, 2002. The Company
currently estimates that it will report for fiscal 2002 a net loss attributable
to common shareholders in the range of $6.7 million to $7.5 million inclusive of
asset impairment charges estimated in the range of $2.7 million to $3.3 million.
The estimated range of the fiscal 2002 net loss is the same as previously
reported by the Company in May 2003.

As a result of continuing losses, the Company is facing severe liquidity issues.
While the Company is current in payments to the holder of its long term debt,
the Company is experiencing difficulty in meeting other obligations. If the
Company is unable to raise funds and/or make arrangements with trade creditors
for extended payment terms, the Company could be required to discontinue
operations. In response to the current situation, the Company has entered into a
non-binding letter of intent for the sale of a portion of its assets. It is
presently anticipated that the sale will be completed in December.


Dale W. Fuller has been appointed to the position of interim Chief Financial
Officer.
