See how real patients are doing on 60 dry eye treatments — what helped, what didn’t, the side effects, the cost. Track your own symptoms and walk into every eye appointment with data that means something.
DryEyeMonitor maintains a continuously updated registry of dry eye treatment outcomes. Patients log standardized symptom data and their treatment regimens; we surface the aggregate to clinicians, researchers, and patients themselves.
Real-world experience with a treatment your doctor has proposed — reported by people who actually use it.
A structured pre-visit summary of a patient’s OSDI trend and current regimen — ready before they sit down.
Population-level data on ocular surface disease epidemiology and real-world treatment effectiveness.
DryEyeMonitor is deliberately quiet. It is a registry, not a feed — built so the data stays trustworthy and your privacy stays intact.
Your care team always comes first. We are not a substitute for a qualified eye-care professional — treatment changes should always be discussed with your ophthalmologist or optometrist.
No threads, no debates — structured, comparable data instead.
No avatars, no follower counts, no direct messages.
We never diagnose — that conversation belongs with your clinician.
Outcomes appear in aggregate or as opt-in, pseudonymized case histories.
Our data conforms to TFOS DEWS III definitions of dry eye disease and uses the OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) as the primary patient-reported severity instrument.
Six standardized severity items (0–4) logged per day via OSDI-6, mapped to the three OSDI sections (ocular symptoms, vision-related function, environmental triggers).
Dose, duration of use, perceived effectiveness (major / moderate / slight / none), side effects (mild / moderate / severe), burden, and reason for stopping if applicable.
De-duplication, plausibility checks, and audit against clinic-administered OSDI scores for the subset of users referred by participating clinics.
Four short reference pages — built from DEWS III and the validated OSDI framework.
The 10 core symptoms of dry eye, the OSDI-6 questionnaire, and the OPQRST history we capture for each one you log.
