How we prepare medical content

Blog articles and descriptions of conditions and services on eyes.ua are prepared by the team of the British Ophthalmology Centre. We write for patients: in plain language, without scaremongering and without promising results.

Who writes and who reviews

• Materials are prepared with the participation of the centre's ophthalmologists.
• Before publication, every medical article is reviewed by a doctor. Their name, position and a link to their profile are shown below the article in the “Reviewed by” block.
• If an article has a doctor as its author, they are listed separately as “Author”.

What we rely on

• Clinical guidelines and recommendations of professional bodies (including the American Academy of Ophthalmology, NICE, EURETINA and ESCRS).
• Peer-reviewed publications and data from equipment and lens manufacturers — only where they concern procedures we actually perform.
• The experience of our own doctors. We only publish figures and facts about the clinic that we can confirm.

Dates and updates

• Each article shows its publication date and the date of the last update.
• We review materials when guidelines, procedures or prices change, and correct inaccuracies as soon as we learn about them.

What we do not do

• We do not guarantee treatment results or diagnose through an article.
• We do not publish reviews or clinical cases without the patient's consent.
• We do not compare ourselves with other clinics or call ourselves “the best”.

Important

The information on this website is for reference only and does not replace a consultation with a doctor. If you have symptoms, book an eye examination.
