What this check looks at
Eyes that feel tired or dry by the evening often follow a long day of close work. This check asks about the day around that feeling: screen breaks and distance, time outdoors, sunglasses, reading light, food, water, sleep, and your last eye exam. Your answers describe habits. They cannot measure your eyesight or find an eye condition.
Who it is for
This is for adults who spend long hours at screens, or who want to look after their eyes as they age. You do not need a prescription or a diagnosis to answer. Choose what fits an ordinary week. Only an eye exam with an optometrist or eye doctor can check your eyes, and the National Eye Institute recommends regular exams. [1]
What you get
Your answers lead to a personal habits summary and a first area to focus on. The shared quiz continues from the answer you select above. You can review your result before you choose whether to join the paid membership. A card is not needed for this check. Membership terms and the price appear before payment.
A useful habit to know
The American Academy of Ophthalmology describes the 20-20-20 rule for screen use: every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for about 20 seconds. It also suggests keeping the screen about an arm’s length away and reducing glare. These are simple habits, not a treatment. [2]
Common questions
Is this an eye test?
No. It asks about habits, not about how well you see. The National Eye Institute recommends regular eye exams to check your eyes. [1]
What is the 20-20-20 rule?
Every 20 minutes at a screen, look at something about 20 feet away for about 20 seconds. The American Academy of Ophthalmology suggests it for eye strain. [2]
Do sunglasses matter?
Yes. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends sunglasses that block UV light when you are outdoors in the sun. [3]
When are flashes or floaters urgent?
A sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow over part of your vision can be a sign of retinal detachment. The National Eye Institute says to get help right away. [4]
