Medical Disclaimer

Not Medical Advice

The information provided on Sightpedia, including but not limited to articles, guides, provider profiles, educational content, research summaries, and any other materials, is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your optometrist, ophthalmologist, or other qualified eyecare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, vision concern, or treatment options.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Your use of Sightpedia does not create a doctor-patient, optometrist-patient, or any other healthcare provider-patient relationship between you and Sightpedia, its affiliates, employees, or content contributors. Communications through our platform, including enquiries submitted to providers, do not constitute medical advice or establish a professional care relationship.

Provider Directory Disclaimer

Sightpedia's directory of optical shops, eye clinics, optometrists, ophthalmologists, and other eyecare professionals is provided as a discovery and reference service. While we strive to verify provider credentials and maintain accurate information, we do not:

• Guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of provider listings
• Endorse any specific provider, clinic, or treatment approach
• Verify the ongoing validity of professional licenses or certifications in real-time
• Assume responsibility for the quality of care provided by listed professionals

Users are encouraged to independently verify provider credentials and suitability for their specific needs before seeking care.

Educational Content Limitations

Our vision education content covering myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, dry eye, and other eye health topics is written from published sources. Where an article has been reviewed by a qualified eyecare professional, the reviewer is named on the page. However:

• Individual cases vary; educational content cannot address every personal situation
• New research and clinical guidelines may emerge after publication
• Content may be simplified for accessibility and may not reflect all nuances of clinical practice
• "Clinically reviewed" labels indicate a review process, not a guarantee of universal applicability

AI-Generated and Marketing Content

Certain sections of Sightpedia, including provider marketing materials, AI-assisted content, and promotional features, are clearly labeled where applicable. AI-generated content is reviewed for accuracy but should not be relied upon as definitive medical guidance.

Third-Party Links and Content

Sightpedia may contain links to third-party websites, research papers, or external resources. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of information on third-party sites.

Urgency and Emergency Situations

No Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sightpedia, Hashmeta AI, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the information, services, or content provided on this platform.

Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this Medical Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or operational practices. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of Sightpedia after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
