Editorial Policy
Ocularis Review maintains strict journalistic and scientific standards across every published analysis. Our editorial team critically appraises commercial assertions against empirical evidence regarding ocular nutrition.
Sourcing
Our writers rely on primary medical research, including the Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS and AREDS2), peer-reviewed journals such as Ophthalmology and Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, and clinical consensus statements from public health bodies. We scrutinize historical claims, such as the wartime myth surrounding carrots and night vision, using validated archival records and biochemistry research on beta-carotene conversion. We reject marketing white papers, unreferenced manufacturer claims, and anecdotal forum testimonials as credible evidence.
Review process
Each manuscript undergoes rigorous review by editors trained in scientific literacy prior to publication. Reviewers verify statistical claims, dosage citations, and mechanistic explanations of how antioxidants protect photoreceptor cells. Any assertion concerning supplement benefits must include citations to randomized controlled trials or systematic reviews rather than observational correlations alone.
Corrections
We promptly address factual inaccuracies, ambiguous phrasings, and outdated research summaries discovered in our articles. Readers and clinicians who detect discrepancies are encouraged to contact our desk with supporting documentation. When a substantive correction occurs, we update the text and append a dated editorial notice detailing the specific change made.
Advertising and independence
Editorial decisions operate with absolute independence from supplement manufacturers, retailers, and commercial sponsors. Sponsored articles, if accepted, are explicitly labeled as promotional content and held to our regular standards of scientific substantiation. Advertisers exert no prior review or approval rights over our critique of specific vitamin formulations or nutritional myths.
