ANNAPOLIS, Md.- Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh announced Monday that the owners of the now-closed Accurate Optical have reached a settlement with the state.

The stores, located in Maryland and Delaware, offered eye care and eyewear. In 2019, customers told the Consumer Protection Division and WBOC that they purchased eyewear and never received the products nor refunds. This led to an investigation by the Consumer Protection Division.

The settlement requires Drs. Steven M. Zeidman, John F. Lynch Jr., and Charles I. McDonald, who are owners of the company, to stop selling goods that they cannot provide, and to pay back all money that Accurate Optical collected from consumers for goods that were not delivered.

“It is illegal to take consumers’ money and fail to provide the promised goods in return,” said Attorney General Frosh in a press release. “I am pleased that our settlement will ensure that customers of Accurate Optical will either receive their purchased eyewear or be paid full refunds.”

Consumers who are owed refunds from Accurate Optical may call the Consumer Protection hotline at 410-528-8662 or 888-743-0023 (toll-free).
