Our Editorial Policy
How Sightpedia ensures accurate, independent, and trustworthy eyecare information
Independent. Educational. Evidence-Based.
Sightpedia is an educational and discovery platform, not a medical diagnosis service or direct treatment provider. Our content is independently produced and is not influenced by commercial relationships with listed providers.
The platform does not provide personalized medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Consumers should always consult qualified eyecare professionals for personal eye health concerns.
How We Create Content
Topic Selection
Based on consumer search behavior, emerging eyecare trends, gaps in public understanding, and professional input.
Research & Drafting
Written by experienced health and medical writers with reference to peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines, and established medical sources.
Clinical Review
All clinical content undergoes review by qualified optometrists, ophthalmologists, or other relevant eyecare professionals before publication.
Editorial Review
Checked for accuracy, clarity, balanced perspective, and adherence to style guidelines.
Updates
Content is periodically reviewed and updated to reflect new evidence, guidelines, or corrections.
Our Sources
- Preference for peer-reviewed research, major clinical guidelines (e.g., American Academy of Ophthalmology, International Myopia Institute), government health agencies, and established medical institutions.
- Clear citation of sources with accessible links where possible.
- Distinction between established clinical consensus and emerging or controversial findings.
- No reliance on anonymous sources for clinical claims.
- Prohibition against citing predatory journals or non-peer-reviewed sources as primary evidence.
Corrections and Updates
Errors may be identified through internal review, reader feedback, or professional input. When a correction is needed, we publish it transparently with a date stamp. Major corrections are noted at the top of affected articles.
We do not silently modify significant factual claims without notation. If you spot a potential error, please contact the editorial team.
Advertising and Editorial Independence
- Editorial content is independent from advertising and sponsorship.
- Sponsored or promoted content is clearly labeled as such.
- Provider listings and featured profiles are governed by separate policies and do not guarantee favorable editorial coverage.
- Sightpedia's AI marketing services for professionals (AI CMS, AI Visibility, AI CRM) do not influence editorial decisions or content about those services.
Details of our advertising policy are available on request.
What We Don't Do
- No personalized medical diagnoses or treatment plans.
- No endorsement of specific providers, products, or treatments outside clearly labeled editorial reviews.
- No publication of invented provider records, unsupported clinical content, fake ratings, or unverified claims.
- No content that substitutes for professional eyecare consultation.
- No promotion of unproven or pseudoscientific treatments without critical context.
Sightpedia connects consumers with professionals but does not intermediate clinical care.
Our Reviewers
We are building a clinical review network of qualified optometrists and ophthalmologists. Content is not yet clinically reviewed unless a reviewer is named on the page. Reviewers are selected based on relevant qualifications, active practice or academic standing, and the absence of undisclosed conflicts of interest.
When content is reviewed, the reviewer's name and credentials will appear on it. Qualified professionals interested in joining the reviewer network are welcome to get in touch.
Condition-Specific Hubs
Our dedicated education hubs for myopia, presbyopia, and general vision follow these same editorial standards with additional condition-specific clinical oversight.
Clinical advisory input informs the development and review of hub content.
Multilingual & Localization
Content is currently published in English for the Singapore launch. Future translations into Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, Vietnamese, and other languages will maintain equivalent editorial standards with culturally appropriate localization.
Translated content will not introduce claims beyond the reviewed source material.
Questions or Feedback?
If you have questions about our editorial standards, concerns about published content, or a correction to report, we would like to hear from you.
