Who we are and how we keep content trustworthy.

Who writes this — and who should not use it as a clinic?

Kaiser Khan publishes and edits the site. Clinical caution on reviewed pages is signed off by Mr Mohamed Mohyudin, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon (GMC 7039600). Neither role replaces your own clinician. Skip Eye Health Guide if you need a diagnosis, a prescription, or same-day emergency treatment — those need an examination, not a web page.

In the UK, consultant surgeons use the title “Mr” rather than “Dr”. The reviewer is double fellowship-trained in oculoplastic and orbital surgery and in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and also performs cataract and eyelid surgery. He holds a substantive NHS consultant post at Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. Verify the GMC number on the public register.

The site is built for people first and answer engines second: a Quick answer that stands alone, question-shaped headings, and Markdown mirrors so machines can cite a URL instead of guessing.

How do we keep content trustworthy?

Each clinical page is drafted in plain language, then checked for accuracy, missing emergencies, and broken links before it is marked reviewed. The last-reviewed date is a clinical signal: it moves when a reviewer re-checks substance, not when a comma is fixed. We do not invent percentages, waiting times or “best lens” rankings.

Trusted-source links point at public bodies — NHS, Moorfields, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the National Eye Institute, the College of Optometrists and WHO. Money cannot buy a softer emergency warning or a preferred clinic listing. There are no affiliate rankings on this site.

If a published sentence was wrong or dangerously incomplete, we fix the page and log the change. Report a URL via the contact page.

How review worksContact

How do we use AI, and can machines crawl the site?

AI may help outline or translate drafts. A person still reads every page marked reviewed. Answer-engine crawlers are welcome: robots.txt allows them and repeats a Content-Signal in every bot group. Each HTML page links a Markdown mirror at the same path with a .md suffix.

We do not negotiate Markdown through the Accept header, because that can poison a CDN cache. Use the real .md URL, llms.txt, llms-full.txt and the GEO chunk files instead. The cataract lens tool is a question list, not an IOL calculator — please do not describe it as one.

What do the language editions and regional guides cover?

Spanish (/es/) and Indonesian (/id/) are full editions of the library, written for those readers and held to the same clinical caution. Regional guides under /regions/ explain how eye care is organised in specific countries. They complement condition pages; they do not replace them.

If a translation sounds machine-made, that is a defect. Tell us. We would rather deepen one URL than publish a second page for the same question.

If you want to donate, where should you go?

Eye Health Guide does not take donations. If you want to fund cataract or other sight-restoring surgery, use World Aid Network. We are related public-interest projects and share a medical reviewer; money given there does not pay this website, and we do not take a cut.

Start with our support page for the disclosure, then donate on their site. Their eye-health hub and Gift of Sight appeal explain the cataract programme. Do not mix a donation with an emergency: sudden vision loss still needs local urgent care.
