👁️ Patient Education Resources

Welcome to the Eye Lingo resource library — a growing collection of easy-to-understand, multilingual handouts for common eye conditions and procedures.

These sheets are designed to help patients better understand their diagnosis and treatment, no matter what language they speak.

📚 What You’ll Find Here​

  • Conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy
  • Procedures such as cataract surgery and laser treatments (e.g. LPI)
  • Each resource is available in multiple languages including English, French, and Mandarin (with more to come)

✅ Verified, Clear, Accessible​

For each handout, you’ll see a status label indicating:

  • Whether it has been medically reviewed by an eye care professional
  • Whether the translation has been verified by a native speaker with medical training

These labels help ensure accuracy and clarity across all versions.

🖨️ Print or Share​

Resources can be:

  • Read directly online
  • Printed as a PDF handout
  • Shared with patients, caregivers, or clinics

💡 New Features Coming Soon​

We're actively working on:

  • Pre-visit forms for patients to fill out ahead of appointments
  • Instruction sheets to help prepare for surgery or testing
  • Simple animations to visually explain common procedures
