Eye tracking journal
Eye tracking journal: track how your eyes feel, day by day
Symptoms that come and go are hard to describe at an appointment. A few taps a day build a dated record your eye doctor can actually use.
What to track
Why a journal helps
Eye symptoms often come and go: worse in the evening, after a long day of screens, or after a short night. By the time you see your eye doctor, the details have faded. A dated record shows the pattern instead of relying on memory, and it helps you ask better questions.
A journal records what you noticed. It doesn't explain the cause, and it can't tell you whether something is getting better or worse. That's for your eye doctor.
A simple routine
- Once a day, at about the same time, tap how your eyes feel.
- Add the context: screen time, sleep, drops, anything unusual.
- Before an appointment, make a Doctor Brief for the period since your last visit.

Questions
Is this an eye tracking device or software?
No. Here, tracking means keeping a journal: you note how your eyes feel and what happened that day. Ocufuse doesn't follow or measure your eye movements.
How long does it take?
About 20 seconds a day. Tap how your eyes feel, add anything that stands out, and you're done.
Can I share it with my eye doctor?
Yes. Pick a period and the Doctor Brief puts your entries and photos on one tidy page you can print, save as a PDF or download as a spreadsheet. Nothing is shared unless you do it.
