Medical Editorial and Review Policy
When you read about an eye problem online, you should be able to tell where the information came from and who checked it. At Khalid Eye & Medical Care, this page sets out the proposed editorial standard for patient guides and medical service information.
Why We Publish Patient Information
The purpose of a patient guide is to help you understand a concern and prepare better questions for your eye doctor. For example, someone reading about a squint should be able to learn what it means, why an examination matters and which general treatment choices may be considered. A page cannot tell an individual patient which treatment they need.
How Topics and Sources Are Chosen
Our planned editorial process begins with real patient questions and the care areas that the clinic can confirm it provides. Writers then research the topic using appropriate clinical references, such as professional ophthalmology organisations, official health services and relevant peer-reviewed evidence. Search results and competing clinic websites can show what patients want to know, but they do not replace medical evidence.
Whenever an article makes an important clinical claim, the relevant source should support that specific point. We will not use invented studies, unverified success rates or guarantees of treatment results. We also aim to separate advice that is general to ophthalmology from services actually available at this clinic.
Who Writes and Reviews the Content?
Our drafting workflow may use AI assistance for research organisation, outlines, language and first drafts. A content editor checks structure, clarity, references and possible search-intent overlap. However, AI-assisted text does not count as a doctor’s medical review.
A medical article should only display “Medically reviewed by” when a named, qualified clinician has actually reviewed the final text. Their name, verified credentials and the real review date should then be shown on the article. We will not use a doctor’s name merely to make a page appear more authoritative.
Medical Accuracy and Local Service Facts
Healthcare information can change, and clinical guidance may vary by patient, age and diagnosis. Articles should describe risks and uncertainty in plain language, not hide them behind promotional claims.
Local facts deserve the same care. The clinic must check appointment hours, address, doctor affiliations, available procedures, prices and surgical venues before these details appear in an article. An academic hospital’s facilities must never be presented as this clinic’s facilities without evidence.
Dates, Updates and Corrections
A publication date should reflect when an article was actually made public. A review date should reflect a real review, while an updated date should only change when meaningful content is changed. We should review an article when important evidence, patient guidance or clinic information changes, rather than altering dates only to make content look fresh.
If you spot something that may be incorrect, please use our contact page and explain which article or sentence concerns you. We can then investigate the issue and correct the page if needed.
What This Policy Does Not Mean
A citation does not guarantee that every patient will have the same outcome. An editorial review is not a medical examination, and a medical article is not a diagnosis. If you have a worrying symptom, seek professional care rather than using an article as a substitute for urgent advice.
