LCA-Vision's Former Executive Management Urge Board of Directors to Immediately Call Special Shareholder Meeting to Approve Poison Pill
Date:12/9/2008

CINCINNATI, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Stephen Joffe, Craig Joffe, and Alan Buckey today filed an amendment to their Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The group previously filed a 13D disclosing ownership of 11.4% of LCA-Vision, Inc. (Nasdaq: LCAV), which operates 77 LasikPlus fixed-site laser vision correction centers in 33 states in the United States. Dr. Joffe is the founder and former Chairman and CEO of LCAV. Craig Joffe is the former Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of LCAV, and Alan Buckey is the former Executive Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The three of them worked together as the executive management team of LCAV (Nasdaq: LCAV) to grow the market capitalization of the Company well in excess of 1000% from 2003-2006.

In a letter, dated December 9, 2008, to Tony Woods and the other members of the Board of Directors of LCA-Vision, the group reiterated their "shock and disappointment" at the Board's recent decision to adopt a "stockholder rights plan," commonly known as a poison pill.

In their letter to the Board, the group states, "We are disappointed that LCA-Vision's Board did not ask shareholders to vote on the poison pill before the Board adopted it. Given the dire state of the Company, now is decidedly not the time for alleged paternalism. We believe, however, there is a solution to this recent issue. We respectfully urge the Board to call a special shareholder meeting empowering shareholders to timely vote on the poison pill. This special shareholder meeting would allow the Board of Directors and the executive management team an opportunity to more fully explain why they believe this poison pill is in fact in the best interests
