Join This Class Action



CONSUMER LAW GROUP has launched a class action lawsuit against Cliniques d’Ophtalmologie Bellevue for requiring and charging patients to undergo uninsured and medically unjustified pre-operative diagnostic tests to determine candidacy for Johnson & Johnson Eyhance non-toric intraocular contact lenses, ultrasonic biometric tests and femtosecond laser refractive relaxing incisions as part of cataract surgery.

The class action alleges that Cliniques d’Ophtalmologie Bellevue knowingly, recklessly, or negligently requires patients to pay for ultrasonic biometric tests despite knowing that superior and more effective alternatives are insured under the Quebec Health Insurance Plan (RAMQ) and are available free of charge to clients, and that pre-operative diagnostic tests to determine candidacy for Eyhance non-toric contact lenses and femtosecond laser refractive relaxing incisions are unnecessary and should not be administered or charged to patients.

The litigation was filed on behalf of the following class:

• All persons resident in Québec who underwent cataract surgery and paid the Defendants for uninsured:

- pre-operative diagnostic tests to determine candidacy for implantation of Eyhance non-toric intraocular lenses; and/or

- ultrasonic biometric tests; and/or

- femtosecond laser refractive relaxing incisions.

The lawsuit alleges that Cliniques d’Ophtalmologie Bellevue exploited and continue to exploit the scientific informational disequilibrium they enjoy over patients undergoing cataract surgery, who were unable to form an independent educated opinion in respect of whether the said tests and incisions were indeed medically justified and effective.

If you or someone you know underwent cataract surgery at Cliniques d’Ophtalmologie and were paid for pre-operative diagnostic tests to determine candidacy for implantation of Eyhance non-toric intraocular lenses and/or ultrasonic biometric tests and/or femtosecond laser refracting relaxing incisions and you wish to receive more information on potential compensation or to be kept advised of the status of the Cliniques d’Ophtalmologie Bellevue Cataract Surgery Class Action litigation or any resulting compensation from this lawsuit in Quebec, please provide your contact information to our law firm using the form below.
