Why we write
sleepSEE helps people learn about Ortho-K and myopia, or nearsightedness. We explain the choices, what research shows and what is still uncertain. This information helps you prepare for a visit. It does not replace advice from your eye doctor.
Health information can affect choices about your care. Google calls this Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) . We take that duty seriously. Clear wording, reliable sources and review by an eye doctor all matter.
How we check medical claims
Medical content on sleepSEE.com is reviewed by Dr. James Singletary, OD, FIAOMC: a licensed optometrist who specializes in Ortho-K. Our team may help write and edit the text. Here are the steps:
1. Find facts and write
We start with original studies and guidance from groups such as the FDA, the American Optometric Association (AOA) and the International Myopia Institute (IMI). We check who was studied, what was measured and where the findings have limits.
2. Check medical claims
An eye doctor checks medical claims before a page goes live. We need sources for numbers, claims about care and safety advice.
3. Check for clear wording
We aim for a fourth- to fifth-grade reading level. We use short sentences and explain medical terms. We also check that the meaning is clear. A score alone cannot tell us that.
4. Publish and date
An article’s review date records a medical check. A wording or design edit alone does not count as a new medical review.
5. Keep facts current
We aim to check articles every 12–24 months, or sooner when new evidence or guidance could change the advice.
Where our facts come from
sleepSEE uses research and trusted health guidance. A news story or product ad alone is not enough to support a medical claim.
Accepted Sources
- •Studies checked by other eye-care experts.
- •FDA records and safety notices.
- •Care guidance from the AOA, an eye-care group.
- •Research reports from the IMI, a myopia research group.
- •Cochrane reviews that compare study findings.
- •Health information from the NIH.
Not enough to prove a claim
- •A product ad or sales pitch.
- •An opinion that has not been checked.
- •A patient review alone does not prove a medical result.
- •General reference sites alone are not enough.
- •Claims from another brand alone are not enough.
Who checks our work
Medical review is led by Dr. James Singletary, OD, FIAOMC, a licensed eye doctor in North Carolina. He founded Eye Medics in Fayetteville and created the sleepSEE Ortho-K program. His areas of care include:
- He fits and manages Ortho-K lenses.
- He tracks and treats worsening myopia.
- He cares for children’s eyes and vision.
- He fits special contact lenses.
- He uses eye maps and eye-length checks.
sleepSEE uses an eye doctor’s review for medical content, including drafts prepared with editorial help. Guest medical content must meet the same standards.
Medical reviewer
Dr. James Singletary, OD, FIAOMC
He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control (FIAOMC).
He founded Eye Medics in Fayetteville, NC.
He created the sleepSEE Ortho-K program.
His care focuses on Ortho-K, myopia and children’s vision.
Paid content and our role
sleepSEE is a brand created by an eye doctor who also provides care. Readers should know he has a business interest in this care. Medical claims must still match the facts. Payment must not change what we say the research shows.
Paid content
Some articles include a Sponsored Comparison table about products or services. We label these as sponsored. A paid place in a table does not prove that a product is better. Medical claims in these sections need the same checks as other claims.
sleepSEE does not take payment to change medical findings. We do not take payment to hide harms or claim that only one type of care works.
How we fix errors
If you find an error, please tell us. We follow these steps:
- 1An eye doctor reviews the report within 5 business days.
- 2If the error is confirmed, we correct it and note the change and date on the page.
- 3For a major medical error that could mislead readers, we take the article down until it is fixed.
- 4We record major corrections rather than silently removing them.
To report an error, use our contact form. Send the page link, the claim you are concerned about and any source that may help us check it.
How we use AI
Some sleepSEE drafts start with help from AI. AI can help plan and edit text. It cannot be in charge of medical advice. An eye doctor is responsible for checking medical claims.
At sleepSEE, medical content is reviewed by Dr. James Singletary, OD, FIAOMC before it goes live. AI does not replace this review or source checks. We make clear what comes from research and what is a doctor’s view. We explain what a study can and cannot tell us.
Our standard: AI can help draft. An eye doctor must check medical claims. A person must check the work before it goes live.
