According to the FTC\u2019s January 2023 complaint<\/a>, LasikPlus used deceptive bait-and-switch advertising to trick 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. To be eligible for the promotion, consumers had to already have near-normal vision (good enough to drive without glasses). For everyone else, the company typically quoted a price between $1,800 and $2,295 per eye. Additionally, some ads neglected to tell consumers up-front that the advertised price was per-eye.<\/p>\n Under the terms of the settlement<\/a>, LCA paid $1,250,000, which the FTC will use to pay claims to consumers harmed by the company\u2019s actions. Consumers who have questions or need help filing a claim can call 1-877-871-0504 or send an email to info@LasikPlusSettlement.com<\/a>. The FTC never requires people to pay money or provide account information to get a refund.<\/p>\n The Commission\u2019s interactive dashboards for refund data provide a state-by-state breakdown of refunds in FTC cases. In 2023,\u00a0FTC actions led to $324 million in refunds to consumers across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
