You might recognise dry eye as....
Dry eye can show up in many different ways: some people notice gritty or burning eyes, others experience watering, blurred vision or feel discomfort in air conditioning, wind, or dry environments.
This symptom checker is based on the OSDI questionnaire, a recognised tool used to understand dry eye symptoms and their impact on daily life. It does not provide a diagnosis, but it can help guide whether specialist dry eye assessment may be appropriate and help us decide what support may be useful for you.

Specialist ongoing dry eye care in Lisburn and Belfast
Dry eye is not always solved by using more drops. It can be linked to tear film imbalance, eyelid inflammation, meibomian gland dysfunction or wider health factors.
At The Dry Eye Clinic, we use thoughtful, evidence-based care to create personalised treatment plans designed to improve comfort, support tear function and help manage symptoms over time.
A whole-person approach
For some patients, dry eye symptoms may be linked to wider health, skin, nutrition or hormonal factors.
Through The Arzen Collective, we can support a broader approach to care where appropriate, drawing on trusted specialists to help understand possible triggers and improve long-term outcomes.
