FTC Sends Almost 160,000 Claim Forms to Consumers Who Could Receive Money Under a Settlement with LasikPlus Providers Over Deceptive Price Advertising
The Federal Trade Commission is sending claim forms to consumers who may have been misled by deceptive bait-and-switch advertising by Ohio-based LCA-Vision, doing business as LasikPlus and Joffe MediCenter (LasikPlus), the nation’s largest LASIK surgery chain.
The Commission is sending notices to 159,711 consumers who may be eligible for a payment. Consumers may apply if they visited a LasikPlus or Joffe MediCenter facility for a LASIK consultation but declined surgery after learning the true price. Most eligible consumers will get an email, but about 4,600 people who don’t have an email address on file will get a notice in the mail. Eligible consumers can file a claim online at www.ftc.gov/lasik. The deadline to file a claim is May 20, 2024. Payment amounts will depend on several factors, including how many people file claims.
