Did you have a LASIK consultation with LasikPlus or Joffe MediCenter? You might be eligible for a refund.

Did you visit a LasikPlus or Joffe MediCenter in response to ads that you could get LASIK for less than $300 only to learn that you didn’t qualify for that price? You might be eligible for a settlement payment. 

Last year, the FTC ordered Ohio-based LCA-Vision, doing business as LasikPlus and Joffe MediCenter, to pay $1.25 million to compensate people who were tricked into believing they could have LASIK for less than $300. In truth, very few people who responded to ads that ran between 2015 and 2020 actually qualified for the low price. Anyone with vision worse than 20/40 — vision good enough to drive without glasses — didn’t qualify for the advertised price, but were told that only after undergoing a 90-minute full-dilation eye exam and sales pitch. At that point, customers were told the true regular LasikPlus price of $1,800-$2,295 per eye.

Now, the FTC is using the money recovered to compensate people for their lost time. To see if you’re eligible and to file a claim:

1. Make sure you have a claim ID. You’ll find it in a letter or email you got from the FTC. If not, email info@LasikPlusSettlement.com or call 877-871-0504 to get one.
2. File a claim online at ftc.gov/lasik.

The deadline to file a claim is May 20, 2024. We plan to send payments before the end of the year. Payment amounts will depend on several factors, including how many people file claims.
