Glaucoma, Cornea and Dry Eye patients and caregivers, this app is for you!
The MyEyeDrops app is developed by the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) to help glaucoma and cornea patients and their caregivers in the application of eye drops and medication.
For patients suffering from Dry Eye, the Dry Eye Diary will help patients monitor and record the frequency and intensity of the condition to facilitate better management by their eye doctors.
For patients and their caregivers, this app will:
1.Remind them to put the eye drops or take their medication at the right time.
2.Show them the correct way of putting eye drops through a video.
3.Indicate the correct eye drops for the correct eye.
4.Allow them to listen to instructions through an audio function.
5.Allow multiple users and caregivers to be alerted of the reminders.
6.Allow them to customise various functions and settings.
7. Monitor and record the frequency and intensity of Dry Eye.
Not putting the eye drops as prescribed could lead to deterioration of the vision and worsening of the condition. Through this app, SNEC hopes to encourage people with glaucoma and cornea conditions to apply the eye drops as prescribed by their doctors and take ownership in ensuring that their vision does not deteriorate.
