Each eye health self-test on this page asks simple questions about how your eyes feel. At the end, you see where your answers fall on a simple color scale and how soon it may be worth seeing an eye doctor. The tests take a few minutes, work on a phone or a computer, and need no pen or paper.
How these self-tests can help
- Make sense of your symptoms. See whether your answers match common, everyday eye problems or signs that need a doctor sooner.
- Know how soon to act. Each result says whether simple care at home is a good first step, or whether to book a visit in the coming weeks or within a day or two.
- Prepare for your visit. The results list what to tell your eye doctor, so the appointment is easier and more useful.

Before you start
These self-tests are not a diagnosis and do not replace an eye exam. The questions are based on public information from the National Eye Institute and the American Academy of Ophthalmology, but the wording and scoring are our own. Your answers stay in your own browser and are not saved by this site. Read the full disclaimer.
Get care right away if you have sudden vision loss, a curtain or shadow over part of your vision, a lot of new flashes or floaters, an eye injury, or a chemical in your eye. If you also have a drooping face, weakness on one side, or trouble speaking, call 911.
