Your result

What your score means

Score 0–5

Your score suggests that menopause is unlikely to be the primary cause of your blurry vision. Other factors, such as digital eye strain, outdated prescription lenses, or underlying health conditions, could be contributing to your symptoms. It’s important to consult with an eye care professional for a thorough examination to identify the exact cause and address any issues effectively.

Score 6–11

Your score indicates a moderate chance that menopause might be affecting your vision. Hormonal changes during this time can lead to symptoms like dry eyes and fluctuating vision. It could be beneficial to discuss your symptoms with both your eye doctor and gynaecologist. They can work together to help you manage these changes and maintain good eye health during menopause.

Score 12–19

Your score suggests that menopause is highly likely playing a significant role in your blurry vision. Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can have a considerable impact on eye health, leading to issues such as dry eyes, fluctuating vision, and general discomfort. It’s important to schedule appointments with both your eye care provider and a healthcare professional specializing in menopause. A comprehensive evaluation will help determine the best treatment options to address your symptoms and protect your vision.
