Following a public comment period, the Federal Trade Commission has finalized a final consent order against Ohio-based LCA-Vision, doing business as LasikPlus and Joffe MediCenter, related to allegedly deceptive ads for LASIK laser eye surgery.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n According to the FTC\u2019s January 2023 complaint<\/a>, LCA\u2019s ads allegedly tricked consumers into believing they could have their vision corrected for less than $300. In reality only 6.5 percent of consumers lured in for consultations were eligible for the advertised promotional price for both eyes. In some ads, LCA also neglected to tell consumers up-front that the promotional price was per-eye only. Despite the ad\u2019s claims, LCA typically quoted patients a price between $1,800 and $2,295 per eye for anyone\u00a0 with worse than near-normal vision (20\/40 eyesight, good enough to drive without glasses).<\/p>\n
