Trademark and copyright disclosure
How YourEye.org uses its name, third-party trademarks and copyrighted material, and how to report a concern.
About the name
“YourEye.org” is a domain name made of the ordinary English words “your” and “eye”, used to describe a website about your eyes. It is used only as the name of this website and is not used to identify or imitate any other company, product, service, campaign or organization.
YourEye.org is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any organization using similar names or marks. In particular:
- “YOUR EYES” is a registered United States trademark (Reg. No. 7307462) owned by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), which also runs the “Love Your Eyes” campaign and World Sight Day. YourEye.org is independent of IAPB and does not use those marks as a brand.
- “MYEYE” and “MYEYES” are registered United States trademarks of their respective owners. YourEye.org has no connection with them.
- We are not connected with any eyewear retailer, clinic chain, app or device that uses “eye” in its name.
If you believe our use of the name causes confusion with your mark, please contact us; we will respond promptly and in good faith.
Third-party trademarks
Product, procedure, organization and brand names mentioned on this site (for example LASIK-related technology names, contact lens and eyewear brands, Ishihara, Google, YouTube and AdSense) are the property of their owners. We mention them only to describe or identify them, and their mention does not imply endorsement.
Copyright
- All original text, code, design and graphics on YourEye.org are © YourEye.org. The color vision plates are generated by our own code and are not copies of any published test.
- Videos are owned by their creators (including the National Eye Institute and the American Academy of Ophthalmology) and are shown only through YouTube’s embedded player, which the publishers make available for embedding. We do not download or re-host them.
- We summarize and cite health guidance in our own words and link to the original sources. We do not reproduce copyrighted articles.
- Statistics are attributed to their sources, such as the World Health Organization.
Affiliate and lead-generation disclosure
Some links to eyewear retailers may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. Eye-care providers may pay us when we introduce them to people who asked to be matched. Sponsored placements are labeled. None of this affects our content or check results.

To report a copyright or trademark concern, use our contact form with the subject “Legal” and include the material concerned, where it appears on the site, your contact details and a statement of your rights.
