Editorial policy
How we create, review and update the health information on this website.
Our aim
We want every patient and family to understand their eyes and their options. Our articles and treatment pages are written in plain language for people without a medical background.
Who writes our content
Content is prepared by the Sankalp Nethralaya editorial team. Drafts may be prepared with the help of writing tools. Nothing is published until it has been checked by our clinical team.
Medical review
Every health article and treatment page is medically reviewed by Dr. Vinay Patil, MBBS, MS (Ophthalmology), our founder and Chief Medical Director. The reviewer’s name and the date of the last review appear at the top of each page.
Sources
We base our information on established clinical guidance and trusted public health sources, such as the US National Eye Institute (NIH), the UK National Health Service (NHS) and the World Health Organization, together with our doctors’ clinical experience. Key sources are listed at the end of each article.
Keeping content up to date
We review our health content at least once a year, and sooner when guidance changes. The ‘last reviewed’ date shows when a page was last checked.
Independence
We do not publish sponsored content or accept payment to mention products. Where we mention treatment options, it is because they are relevant to patients, not because of commercial arrangements.
Not a substitute for an examination
Our content is for general information. It cannot diagnose your condition or replace a consultation. For sudden loss of vision, a painful red eye or an eye injury, seek emergency care immediately.
Corrections and feedback
If you spot an error or have a suggestion, email sankalpnethralaya@gmail.com. We review every message and correct mistakes promptly.
