Simple Ophthalmic Issue Exam vs Oculetics

The Simple Ophthalmic Issue Exam (SOPHIE) is a tool used to provide a provisional diagnosis for common red eye disorders. If you woke up one morning and your eye is red, painful, or swollen, answer a couple of questions and this program will help you get a general idea of what the diagnosis and treatment could be. This program was developed by an optometrist who has experience treating various anterior segment diseases. New optometrists and optometry students will find this tool extremely useful when narrowing down potential diagnoses. Although the program was created by an eye care provider, many conditions present differently so the program’s accuracy is not guaranteed. The best part about this program (like all of our other programs) is that it is 100% free to use. No subscription or purchase is required. Disclaimer: SOPHIE is NOT intended to replace a professional diagnosis; information provided by this program is for educational purposes. Seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

Oculetics is an educational reference designed to support ophthalmologists, residents, and medical students in clinical decision-making and exam preparation. It provides concise flowcharts, diagnostic overviews, and structured algorithms covering major ophthalmic subspecialties — from cornea to retina.
