Editorial Policy

The standards used to plan, research, write, and update Eye Care Digest content.

Our editorial process is designed for YMYL health content, where readability matters and accuracy matters more.

Source standards

We prioritize primary or institutional medical sources such as the National Eye Institute, NIDDK, AAPOS, AOA, FDA, CDC, major academic medical centers, and peer-reviewed journals when appropriate. Citations are selected for patient relevance, not just volume.

Writing standards

Articles are written in patient language, keep claims proportional to the evidence, and state uncertainty plainly. We avoid clicky phrasing, exaggerated promises, and medical shortcuts that blur the line between education and advice.

Update standards

Each article carries an update date and is reviewed on a recurring schedule. When guidelines, terminology, or best-practice patient guidance change, articles are revised and revalidated before republishing.
