Electro-Optical Sciences Added to Russell 2000(R) and Russell 3000(R) Indexes

IRVINGTON, NY, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Electro-Optical Sciences, Inc. ("EOS") (NASDAQ: MELA), a medical
technology company focused on the design and development of MelaFind(R),
a non-invasive, point-of-care instrument to assist in the early detection
of melanoma, today announced that the company's shares have been added to
the Russell 2000(R) and Russell 3000(R) indexes, effective immediately.

Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means
automatic inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index as well as the appropriate
growth and value style indexes. Member companies are drawn from the 4,000
largest companies meeting the indexes' criteria as of the end of each May
and are added or deleted annually as the indexes are reconstituted each
June.

"We are pleased to be included in both Russell indexes and believe that
this will bring a more diverse group of shareholders to the stock and may
generate additional attention to the company as MelaFind advances through
the regulatory pathway at the Food and Drug Administration," said Joseph
V. Gulfo, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of EOS.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional
investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active
investment strategies. According to Russell, an industry-leading $4
trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them.

About Electro-Optical Sciences

Electro-Optical Sciences is a medical technology company focused on
developing MelaFind(R), a non-invasive and objective computer vision
system intended to aid in the early detection of melanoma. EOS designed
MelaFind(R) to assist in the evaluation of pigmented skin lesions,
including atypical moles, which have one or more clinical or historical
characteristics of melanoma, before a final decision to biopsy has been
rendered. MelaFind(R) acquires and displays multi-spectral (from blue to
near infrared) digital images of pigmented skin lesions and uses automatic
image analysis and statistical pattern recognition to help identify
lesions to be considered for biopsy to rule out melanoma. For more
