Dry Eye Self-Evaluation Test

Start Understanding Your Symptoms

If your eyes feel dry, tired, or irritated, it can start to affect more than just your comfort. Everyday moments like reading your phone, working on a computer, or driving at night can become frustrating.

This self-test is designed to help you better understand what your eyes are experiencing and how it may be impacting your daily life. Your answers will give our eye doctors valuable insight so we can recommend the right treatment for you.

Why This Dry Eye Self-Test Helps with Your Treatment

Dry eye is one of the most common reasons patients visit an eye doctor. Many people live with symptoms for months or even years without realizing that effective treatment options are available.

When your eyes feel healthy and well-lubricated, daily activities feel easier. You can focus longer, see more clearly, and enjoy your day without constant irritation or distraction.

Dry Eye Symptoms to Consider

As you complete the evaluation, think about how your eyes have felt recently.

  • Dryness, grittiness, or a scratchy feeling
  • Soreness or irritation
  • Burning or excessive watering
  • Eye fatigue, especially after screen use

You will also note when you last experienced these symptoms, whether you use eye drops, and if you have had eye conditions such as blepharitis or styes.
