A federal class action lawsuit targeting optical companies U.S. Vision and USV Optical has been dismissed in New Jersey. The complaint alleged a data breach affected over 700,000 patients. The court, led by Judge Christine P. O'Hearn, ruled that plaintiffs could not substantiate claims of direct interaction between U.S. Vision and the patients, given that the patients were clients of a third party, Nationwide Vision and SightCare. The case highlighted the limits of the 'alter ego doctrine,' which was deemed inapplicable in establishing liability for the breach.
