Terms of Use

These terms describe the understanding between you and Be Healthy when you use this website. They are written to be fair and readable rather than buried in fine print, and they go together with our Privacy Policy.

Accepting these terms

Using behealthybrazosvalley.org means you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If any part of them does not sit right with you, the simplest answer is not to use the site.

Education, not medical advice

Everything here is written to help you understand cataracts and cataract surgery, from the first signs through the assessment, the operation, and recovery. A large part of it is one patient’s personal account. None of it is medical advice, none of it can tell you whether or when to have surgery, and none of it replaces an in-person assessment by a qualified eye surgeon. Our Medical Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms, should be read before you rely on anything here.

Owning and reusing the content

Unless we note otherwise, the writing, structure, and design on this site belong to Be Healthy and are protected by copyright. You are welcome to read it for your own non-commercial use, link to our pages, and quote a short passage with clear credit. Copying, republishing, or redistributing substantial parts without our written permission is not allowed, and the personal diary entries in particular must not be passed off as anyone else’s experience.

Using the site fairly

Please use the site honestly and considerately. Do not try to disrupt or overload it, scrape it with automated tools that place an unreasonable burden on it, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

Links to other sites

We sometimes point to professional bodies, regulators, and research for further reading. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices, and following an external link is at your own discretion.

Accuracy and liability

We work to keep the information accurate and current, but we cannot warrant that it is complete, error-free, or suited to any particular situation, and it is provided “as is”. Cataract surgery outcomes vary from person to person, and nothing here promises any result. To the fullest extent the law allows, Be Healthy is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site grows or the law changes. The “Last updated” date above marks the current version, and continuing to use the site means you accept it.
