Subject: Eye Surgery Practices Agree to Pay $1 Million and End
Discriminatory Policies Towards People with Disabilities

The Justice Department has filed a proposed consent decree with Barnet
Dulaney Perkins Eye Centers (BDP) and American Vision Partners (AVP), to
resolve its lawsuit alleging that the eye care practices violated the
Americans with Disabilities Act. The lawsuit alleged that BDP and AVP
refused to operate on certain patients who needed assistance transferring
from their wheelchairs for surgery and required other such patients to pay
for third-party medical transport and transfer assistance. BDP and AVP have
agreed to pay $1 million and end discriminatory policies towards people with
disabilities. The press release can be read here
