Visual difficulties screener
A clearer next step for comfortable reading.
Notice what happens when you read
Answer ten short symptom questions and add some eye-care history. You can complete this for yourself, or support a child or another person to describe their own experience.
What you’ll receive
A next step and a printable record to take to an appointment. No account or email address is needed.
What it can tell you
This records experiences; it cannot check eyesight or diagnose dyslexia, visual stress or an eye condition.
This is DTC’s questionnaire, paraphrased and adapted from SASC’s June 2025 guidance, section 4. It is not an official SASC form or a separately validated test.
How this screener was developed
The questions and referral approach are adapted from SASC’s June 2025 guidance. DTC added the examples, uncertain-answer option, appointment notes and page design. These additions have not been validated as a clinical test. Independent clinical review of this adapted tool has not yet been completed.
You can skip the examples. No reading speed, tracking performance or colour preference is measured.
