PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS, AND INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE BY CLICKING THE BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

Medical licensing rules may prohibit physicians from providing medical advice to patients in states and countries where they are not licensed. In some cases these rules provide that the communication of medical advice by E-mail constitutes the practice of medicine in the state or country where the patient is located when the E-mail is received. As the faculty of Visitech is not licensed to practice medicine in all jurisdictions and they have no way to determine where you will receive their E-mail replies, they cannot and will not provide medical advice by E-mail even if they have physically examined you or reviewed medical records provided by your health care provider.

In light of the above, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. Submitting a web form or sending E-mail to Visitech and/or receiving E-mail from Visitech WILL NOT establish a doctor-patient relationship. If you have, or suspect that you may have, a health problem, please consult with your health care provider immediately.
   
   
2. Replies from Visitech ARE NOT INTENDED as medical advice. Accordingly, you agree not to rely on them as a diagnosis of your medical condition, as a confirmation of your medical diagnosis, or as a recommendation of one or more treatments.
   
   
3. Replies from the faculty of Visitech MAY INCLUDE instructions on referrals to physicians, general information about retinal, macular, or vitreous problems tailored to address your specific inquiry, and general information about recognized treatments and surgical procedures tailored to address your specific inquiry. RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY Replies from the faculty of VISITECH IN THEIR E-MAILS OR THROUGH THE WEB SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IN NO EVENT SHALL Visitech, OR ANY OF ITS FACULTY MEMBERS, DOCTORS OR STAFF ASSOCIATED WITH Visitech, HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER ANY THEORY WHATSOEVER FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION THAT IS SO PROVIDED.
   
   
4. Replies from Visitech are not encrypted and therefore, like all unencrypted E-mails, may be intercepted and viewed by others. Accordingly, you agree not to send or request information by web form or E-mail that you consider confidential or sensitive in nature. You also give your consent to Visitech for responding to your inquiries by E-mail, and agree that the faculty of Visitech shall not be liable for any breach of confidentiality or privacy that may result from interception of such E-mails by any third person.
