- No post-2019 press release or SEC filing was found confirming a change of control away from Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division; the 2019 acquisition remains the most recent confirmed majority ownership event.
- The exact current equity split between Goldman Sachs MBD, Charlesbank, management, and any other co-investors could not be established from public sources.
- Charlesbank's portfolio page confirms a minority stake but does not disclose its percentage.
- PitchBook's note of a 'Buyout/LBO' deal dated April 22, 2026 refers to MyEyeDr. *acquiring* Lumina Vision Partners — not a buyout of MyEyeDr. itself.
- No SEC EDGAR filing (Form D or otherwise) was found for Capital Vision Services, LP as a registered fund vehicle; it is a limited partnership not subject to public reporting.
- Ownership structure and PE involvement have not changed materially since the August 2019 close based on available public evidence as of the investigation date.
