Editorial policy

How we write about eye health.

Our health pages aim to explain eye conditions and products in plain words, point to where each fact came from, and send you back to your own eye doctor for decisions about your care.

What our pages are for

Information, not a diagnosis.

Reading about dry eye, allergies or contact lens care can help you ask better questions at your next visit. It cannot tell you what is happening in your own eyes. Only an exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist can do that.

Where facts come from

Government health sitesSuch as the National Eye Institute and FDA
Eye care associationsSuch as the AAO and AOA patient pages
ManufacturersProduct labels and official instructions
Published researchPeer-reviewed studies indexed on PubMed

Our promises to readers.

No paid rankings

Brands cannot pay to be described more favorably on our health pages.

Sources you can check

Each health page lists its references so you can read them yourself.

Kept current

We review pages when guidance or product labels change and correct errors when we find them.

Questions about your eyes?

The best next step is an exam. Our locator lists practices that work with Vision Rescue.

Common questions.

Do you sell the products you write about?

Yes, Vision Rescue is a store, so many products named on our pages are sold here. A link to a product is not a personal recommendation; ask your eye doctor which option suits you.

Can these pages replace a visit to my doctor?

No. They are general education. Eye symptoms need an exam, and some need prompt care.

How do I report a mistake?

Email support@visionrescue.com with the page address and what looks wrong. We review every report.
