Symptom Checker

What symptoms are you experiencing?

Learn the association between common eye symptoms and the most frequently treated eye conditions. This site isn’t a tool for self diagnosis – only a Desert Retina Consultants doctor or eye care professional can offer an accurate diagnosis around any symptom you may be experiencing.

Desert Retina Consultants encourages you to learn all you can about routine eye care. Schedule an appointment to have a general eye examination by a Desert Retina Consultants doctor or eye surgeon – especially if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. When it comes to eye health, the more you know, the better you see.
