Milan Eye Center

Milan Eye Center, located in Cumming, Georgia, experienced a data breach that affected patient information. The breach occurred due to a third-party vendor’s system being compromised by an unauthorized party between May 18 and July 23, 2020. The types of information that were potentially accessed include patients’ names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, insurance coverage details, locations where services were provided, dates of service, and health status[1][3][5][7][9][11][13].

The breach was discovered on December 9, 2022, and Milan Eye Center began notifying affected individuals on August 23, 2023[5][7][9][11][13]. The total number of individuals whose data was compromised is reported to be 67,336[5][7][9]. In response to the breach, Milan Eye Center offered affected individuals complimentary one-year memberships with a credit monitoring service[11][13].

Several law firms, including Lynch Carpenter, Turke & Strauss LLP, and Markovits, Stock & DeMarco, LLC, are investigating claims against Milan Eye Center related to the data breach and are considering class action lawsuits. They are reaching out to affected patients to inform them about their legal rights and potential compensation[3][5][7][9].

Patients who received care from Milan Eye Center before July 23, 2020, may be eligible for compensation due to the breach[3]. Those affected are advised to review their breach notices, enroll in the offered credit monitoring services, change passwords for online accounts, and monitor their account statements and credit reports for signs of fraudulent activity[5].
