Editorial Standards
We believe parents deserve access to the same evidence-based information that guides clinical decisions. Here's how we ensure the accuracy and integrity of our content.
Our Mission
MyopiaProgression.com exists to bridge the gap between clinical research and parent understanding. We translate peer-reviewed science into actionable guidance—without oversimplifying, sensationalizing, or promoting any single treatment approach.
Content Sources
All clinical claims on this website are grounded in peer-reviewed research. We prioritize:
Primary Sources
- Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
- Meta-analyses and systematic reviews
- Longitudinal cohort studies
Trusted Organizations
- International Myopia Institute (IMI)
- American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO)
- American Optometric Association (AOA)
When citing specific statistics or treatment efficacy rates, we link directly to the source publication whenever possible. If a claim cannot be substantiated by peer-reviewed evidence, we clearly label it as emerging research, expert opinion, or anecdotal.
Editorial Process
