Dry Eye Australia

Appointment prep

Prepare for your dry eye appointment

A few quick questions about what bothers you, when, and what you have tried. You get a short summary to save, email to yourself or print and bring along, so the appointment starts with the full picture instead of "my eyes feel dry".

This tool helps you describe your symptoms to a clinician. It does not diagnose anything or suggest treatment. Your answers stay in your browser: nothing is sent to us or saved.

Your OSDI-6 score (optional)

If you have taken the dry eye test, add your score out of 24. It is filled in automatically when you arrive from the test.

This tool is general information, not medical advice, and does not create a clinician-patient relationship. Only an assessment by an optometrist or ophthalmologist can identify what is causing your symptoms.
