ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.


     On April 22, 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, Kent
Acquisition Corporation ("KAC"), completed its acquisition of all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of Kent Optical Company, a Michigan
corporation ("Kent"), Custom Optics, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Custom"),
Kent-N.W. Grand Rapids, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Kent-N.W."), Kent-
Hackley, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Kent-Hackley"), Source Optical Supply,
Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Source," and collectively with Kent, Custom,
Kent-N.W. and Kent-Hackley, the "Companies"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase and
Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among KAC, the Registrant, the
Companies and the stockholders of the Companies dated as of April 1, 1999 (the
"Acquisition").  In consideration for all the issued and outstanding stock of
the Companies, KAC paid $5,200,000 in cash provided pursuant to a term loan from
Fleet National Bank, more particularly described in Item 5 to this Form 8-K,
issued promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and arranged for
the issuance of 160,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.
The Companies are privately held primary eye care chains that operate eye care
centers in Michigan.  The Registrant intends to continue the business operated
by the Companies.  The purchase price for the Acquisition was determined by
negotiation between the parties based , in part, upon a multiple of the
Companies' earnings.  This Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.  The Purchase Agreement and the press release dated April
23, 1999, filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.8, respectively, are incorporated herein
by reference.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

  On April 15, 1999, the Registrant entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan
Agreement") with Fleet National Bank (the "Bank") pursuant to which the
Registrant may borrow up to $7,000,000 on a term loan basis, up to $3,000,000 on
a revolving credit basis and up to $10,000,000 on an acquisition credit basis,
subject to certain performance criteria, which loans are secured by all of the
assets of the Registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

  On April 22, 1999, the Registrant borrowed $7,000,000 pursuant to the term
loan and $975,000 pursuant to the revolving line of credit to refinance existing
debt and finance the acquisition of the Companies by KAC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant.  Other amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement
in the future are expected to be used to finance future acquisitions, provide
ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

  The Loan Agreement and the press release dated April 23, 1999, filed as
Exhibits 99.1 and 99.9, respectively, are incorporated herein by reference.
