quoted from their site:

You may be eligible to receive a Benefits Package valued at $100. The Benefits Package will include $50 off the purchase of four or more multipacks of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (Vistakon) lenses, $25 off a visit to your eye care practitioner and $25 off a future purchase of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care lenses.
If at anytime since January 1, 1988, you or a minor member of your household purchased contact lenses from

Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (also known as Vistakon)
Bausch & Lomb
and/or CIBA Vision,

after the very first pair you obtained, you may be eligible to participate in a proposed litigation settlement and receive valuable benefits. No proof of purchase is required to receive a Benefits Package. Just answer a few questions and provide your name and an address to which the Benefits Package can be mailed.

If you think you might be eligible to participate, please select Register for Benefits below.

"Private counsel acting on behalf of a certified nationwide class of consumers, as well as the Attorneys General of 32 States, brought lawsuits against certain manufacturers of contact lenses and other named defendants. Although the various Complaints are not identical, in general each Complaint alleges that retail prices of replacement contact lenses were too high because Johnson & Johnson, Bausch & Lomb, and/or CIBA Vision agreed with the American Optometric Association ("AOA&quot😉 and other named defendants, in alleged violation of the antitrust laws, that their lenses would only be available from eye care professionals or retail optical and mass merchandisers. The defendants have denied participating in the alleged agreement and have denied that their actions have caused retail prices of replacement contact lenses to be above competitive levels. Notice of the pendency of the action and of a proposed settlement with CIBA Vision (which has now been approved by the Court) was previously provided to consumers and class members."
 
From the web site:

"If the Proposed Settlements are finally approved, you will be precluded from ever suing Bausch & Lomb, Johnson & Johnson, AOA and the individual defendants for any claim arising out of, or relating to, their policy, practice, course of dealing and/or decision not to sell replacement contact lenses directly to alternative channels of distribution or to restrain their authorized distributors from doing so, and/or for any claim arising out of allegations that they took actions to limit consumers' ready access to the prescription, work order, and/or other information a consumer would need to purchase contact lenses from alternative channels of distribution, and you will be bound by a judgment dismissing the lawsuits against Bausch & Lomb, Johnson & Johnson, AOA and the individual defendants."

That is to say, if you take the settlement package, you will not be eligible to be a part of the class-action lawsuit. Any lawyers out there who can give us some advice on this?

It seems to me that if these companies were actually involved in the alleged monopolistic practices, they are getting off much too easily with these "Benefits Packages".
