Advanced Medical Optics (EYE)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

From its inception, AMO has been committed to integrity and responsible conduct, as evidenced by our adoption in June 2002 of the Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. Code of Ethics. We believe that AMO’s commitment to ethical conduct is the personal responsibility of each manager and employee of our company, and no other objective shall have a higher priority. In addition, the board of directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that reflect our board’s commitment to the highest possible standards of corporate governance. These guidelines, which were further updated in May 2006, are being published in this proxy statement to inform our stockholders of the board’s current thinking with respect to selected corporate governance issues that we believe may be of interest to stockholders. These are guidelines, not rigid rules. The guidelines include, among other things, a description of the manner in which stockholders can send communications to the board of directors, AMO’s policy with regard to board members’ attendance at annual meetings, and which director will preside at executive sessions of the board.
