Why dry eye is tricky to manage at home
Thick discharge and redness can wax and wane, so it is hard to tell if treatment is working.
Missed or late drops can quietly set back progress when you are managing several daily doses.
Subtle squinting and rubbing are easy to overlook until the eye looks clearly irritated.
What the tracker actually does
Discharge & color log
Note the amount, thickness, and color of eye discharge for each eye at every check.
Redness & squinting notes
Track redness, squinting, and pawing so you can spot a flare building early.
Eye drop timing
Log when you give tear-stimulating or lubricating drops to stay on a consistent schedule.
Per-eye tracking
Record the left and right eye separately since KCS can differ between sides.
Vet-ready summary
Bring a clear history of discharge, redness, and drop times to recheck appointments.

Frequently asked questions
- Can dog dry eye be cured?
- KCS is usually a lifelong condition managed with ongoing treatment rather than cured. Consistent drops and monitoring help keep eyes comfortable. Your vet guides the treatment plan.
- How often do dry eye drops need to be given?
- Many dogs need drops one or more times daily, but the exact schedule depends on the medication your vet prescribes. Logging doses helps you stay consistent.
- What does a dry eye flare look like?
- Flares often show as increased thick discharge, redness, squinting, and rubbing. Tracking these signs helps you catch a flare early and tell your vet.
- Why track each eye separately?
- Dry eye can be worse in one eye than the other, so per-eye notes give your vet a more accurate picture of progress.
- Can this app diagnose my dog's eye problem?
- No. This app only helps you record observations. Eye conditions can be serious and progress quickly, so always consult your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
