         The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No.
333-116589 (the "Registration Statement") of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc.
(the "Registrant") is to file as an exhibit to the Registration Statement the
consent of KPMG LLP, independent certified public accountants, in which KPMG
LLP consents to the incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement
of its report dated June 15, 2004 with respect to the combined statements of
net assets to be sold as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and the related
combined statements of direct revenues and direct operating expenses for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 of the Surgical Ophthalmic
Business (a business within Pfizer Inc.'s Global Pharmaceutical Group), which
appears in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 2004.

                                    PART II

June 21, 2002 (Registration No. 333-90950). In February 2004 the Registrant's
Board of Directors adopted, and on May 20, 2004 the stockholders of the
