$5M EyeMed data breach class action settlement

EyeMed Vision Care LLC agreed to a $5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2020 data breach that compromised sensitive consumer information.

The EyeMed settlement benefits consumers who received a notice from EyeMed informing them that their personal data was compromised in a data breach in June 2020.

During the EyeMed data breach, an unauthorized third party allegedly gained access to sensitive consumer information, such as names, contact details, dates of birth, health insurance account and identification numbers, Medicaid or Medicare numbers, driver’s licenses and other government identification numbers. Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim EyeMed could have prevented the data breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures.

EyeMed Vision Care is a vision benefits company that provides services to more than 100 million members around the world.

EyeMed has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $5 million to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the EyeMed settlement, class members can receive a cash payment for out-of-pocket expenses and lost time.

Class members can receive up to $10,000 for documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach. This includes unreimbursed losses relating to fraud or identity theft, professional fees, credit expenses, verified fraud, miscellaneous expenses and more.

In addition to compensation for documented losses, class members can also receive compensation for up to four hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour, for a total of up to $100 in lost-time compensation.

Class members can receive a residual cash payment from the settlement. These payments are estimated to be around $50 but may be adjusted higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed and the amount used to pay documented loss claims.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Nov. 11, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the EyeMed data breach settlement is scheduled for Jan. 7, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 11, 2025.
