Exhibit 10.14

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

        This Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of                        (the
"Grant Date") between 1-800 CONTACTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the employee of the Company listed on the signature page hereto
(the "Grantee").

        Pursuant to the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the
Company and the Grantee desire to enter into an agreement to evidence the grant
by the Company to the Grantee of that number of shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") listed on the signature
page hereto (the "Shares"). Certain terms used herein are defined in paragraph 9
hereof.

        The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.    Shares.    

        (a)    Grant.    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Shares. The number of shares of
Common Stock granted shall be subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 10
hereto.

        (b)    Payment of Par Value.    The par value of $.01 per Share shall be
paid by Grantee to the Company on the Grant Date and in the amount listed on the
signature page hereto (the "Par Value Amount"). Payment of the Par Value Amount
shall be made to the Company in cash or by check by the Grantee, provided that
the Committee may (but need not) permit payment to be made by (i) delivery to
the Company of outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Grantee,
(ii) retention by the Company of Shares which would otherwise be issued to the
Grantee upon lapse of the restrictions on such Shares, (iii) withholding by the
Company of the Par Value Amount from the Grantee's regular salary or (iv) any
combination of cash, check, salary withholding, the Grantee's delivery of
outstanding shares of Common Stock and retention by the Company of Shares which
would otherwise be issued to the Grantee upon lapse of the restrictions on such
Shares.

        2.    Restrictions.    

        (a)    Normal Vesting.    The Shares granted hereunder may be issued to
the Grantee only to the extent they have become vested. The Shares shall vest as
follows: [INSERT VESTING RESTRICTIONS], if and only if the Grantee is, and has
been, continuously a director, officer or employee of, or otherwise performing
services for, the Company or its subsidiaries from the Grant Date through the
applicable Vesting Date.

        (b)    Change in Control.    In the event of a Change in Control, the
Shares shall be vested as to all of the Shares. The Committee may in its sole
discretion direct the Company to cash out the Shares on the basis of the Change
in Control Price as of the date the Change in Control occurs or such other date
the Committee may determine prior to the Change in Control.

        (c)    No Vesting After Termination Date.    Notwithstanding any
provision of subsection 2(b) to the contrary, the Shares shall cease to vest,
and any other restrictions on the Shares shall cease to lapse, after the
Termination Date. Any portion of the Shares which has vested, or upon which any
other restrictions have lapsed, prior to the Termination Date, but which has not
been issued previously, shall be issued to the Grantee.

        3.    Procedure for Issuing Shares Upon Vesting Date.    As a condition
to any issuance of Shares by the Company to the Grantee upon a Vesting Date, the
Grantee shall make all customary investment representations which the Company
requires.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        4.    Securities Laws Restrictions and Other Restrictions on Transfer of
Shares.    The Grantee understands and acknowledges that federal and state
securities laws govern and restrict his or her right to offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of any Shares unless the offer, sale or other disposition thereof is
registered under the Securities Act and state securities laws, or in the opinion
of the Company's counsel, such offer, sale or other disposition is exempt from
registration or qualification thereunder. The Grantee agrees that he or she will
not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares in any manner which would:
(i) require the Company to file any registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law) or to amend or
supplement any such filing or (ii) violate or cause the Company to violate the
Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other
state or federal law. The Grantee further understands that the certificates for
any vested Shares shall bear such legends as the Company deems necessary or
desirable in connection with the Securities Act or other rules, regulations or
laws.

        5.    Transferability of Shares.    The unvested, or otherwise
restricted, Shares granted hereunder may be transferred by the Grantee only
(i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) with the prior
written approval of the Committee, to any member of the Grantee's Family Group,
provided that such transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the
terms of this Restricted Stock Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires,
references herein to the Grantee are deemed to include any permitted transferee
under this paragraph 5.

        6.    Conformity with Plan.    The provisions of this Restricted Stock
Agreement are intended to conform in all respects with, and are subject to all
applicable provisions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference).
Inconsistencies between this Restricted Stock Agreement and the Plan shall be
resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. By executing and returning
the enclosed copy of this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges
his or her receipt of this Restricted Stock Agreement and the Plan and agrees to
be bound by all of the terms of this Restricted Stock Agreement and the Plan.

        7.    Rights of Participants.    Nothing in this Restricted Stock
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to
terminate the Grantee's employment at any time for any reason or for no reason,
nor confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company
for any period of time or to continue his or her present (or any other) rate of
compensation, and in the event of termination of employment any portion of the
Shares that was not previously vested, or upon which any other restrictions have
not previously lapsed, shall expire and be forfeited (other than termination due
to death, Permanent Disability or retirement). Nothing in this Restricted Stock
Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be selected again as a Plan
participant, and nothing in the Plan or this Restricted Stock Agreement shall
provide for any adjustment to the number of Shares except as provided in
paragraph 10 below.

        8.    Withholding of Taxes.    The Company shall be entitled, if
necessary or desirable, to withhold from the Grantee any amounts due and payable
by the Company to the Grantee (or secure payment from him or her in lieu of
withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company
with respect to any Shares issuable under this Agreement, and the Company may
defer such issuance unless indemnified by the Grantee to its satisfaction.
Provided, the Committee may allow the Grantee to pay the amount of any
withholding or other tax due from the Company with respect to any Shares
issuable under this Agreement by (i) delivery to the Company of outstanding
shares of Common Stock held by the Grantee, (ii) retention by the Company of
Shares which would otherwise be issued to the Grantee upon lapse of the
restrictions on such Shares or (iii) any combination of cash, check, the
Grantee's delivery of outstanding shares of Common Stock and retention by the
Company of Shares which would otherwise be issued to the Grantee upon lapse of
the restrictions on such Shares.

(without posting bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any
