We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat that as a valid opt-out from the sale or sharing of personal information and do not set non-essential cookies.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of any sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, visit our Do Not Sell My Information page.
Third parties
This site loads content from third-party providers. Google Fonts delivers the typography used across the site. Google Maps is embedded on our Home, Contact, and Locations pages to display our office location. YouTube videos are embedded on our Cataract Surgery page for patient education; these use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (youtube-nocookie.com) embed format. Loading any of these may connect your browser to Google or YouTube and transmit technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the page you are viewing. That information is handled under Google’s privacy policy, and these providers may set their own cookies or use browser storage on the pages where their content appears.
