How It Works

Welcome to Eye Lingo — a multilingual resource for ophthalmology patient education.

Here's how information on this site is developed:

• Creation: Patient information sheets are first written in English, covering common eye conditions and procedures.

• Medical Review: Each English sheet is reviewed by a licensed ophthalmologist to ensure clinical accuracy and patient-friendly language.

• Translation: Translations into other languages are completed and then verified by a native-speaking medical doctor or medical student fluent in that language.

• Verification Status: Each information sheet and translation is labeled clearly to indicate whether it has been formally verified. Unverified translations will be updated once reviewed.

This process ensures that all resources are as accurate, understandable, and accessible as possible for patients of diverse linguistic backgrounds.
