Our Editorial Approach
Sources first. Research summaries link to the original studies and explain what was measured, how strong the evidence is, and what remains uncertain.
Clear roles. Publisher Jim Forte brings experience in eye-care practice management and optical operations. He is not an optometrist or physician. Clinical review is identified only when a named clinician has actually reviewed an article.
Transparent interpretation. We distinguish editorial observations from research results and disclose reported study funding or industry relationships when relevant.
