State fines two eye doctors $ 25,000 each for unsubstantiated ads

Two ophthalmologists at an Arlington eye-care center have been fined $ 25,000 apiece for running advertisements that couldn't be substantiated.

The Texas State Board of Medical Examiners reprimanded David Kleiman and Anthony Evangelista for ads published in various Dallas-Fort Worth newspapers.

The ads for the Kleiman-Evangelista Eye Center contained statements such as "nearly three out of four patients are seeing better than 20/20 vision! As for that other one patient, well, they'll just have to settle for 'perfect.'"

Another ad urged consumers to "trust your eyes to Tarrant County's leading LASIK surgeons" — even though the eye center doesn't have data verifying that its doctors perform the most LASIK surgeries in the county, according to the board.

The board's rules prohibit ads that are false, deceptive or misleading, including those containing claims that cannot be substantiated.
