# CSI Dry Eye Software > CSI Dry Eye Software is point-of-care diagnostic software for optometrists and ophthalmologists. It automates dry eye workups, flags medication risks, detects conditions that mimic dry eye disease, and generates AI-powered, evidence-based treatment plans — cutting comprehensive dry eye assessments from about 45 minutes down to 15. CSI is used by eye care professionals across 4 continents, including general optometry practices, ophthalmology and cornea specialists, and clinics performing pre-operative screening for LASIK and cataract surgery. It is not funded by any pharmaceutical or device company, so recommendations are clinically impartial. ## What CSI Does - Automates dry eye patient intake using validated questionnaires (OSDI, SPEED, DEQ-5, and more), completed by patients on their own device via QR code or email - Applies patented AI/machine-learning pattern recognition, including a TFOS DEWS III-aligned 9-cell diagnostic severity grid, to classify aqueous, evaporative, and mixed dry eye disease - Flags 100+ medications with known dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) side effects - Detects "Mimickers" — non-dry-eye conditions that present with similar symptoms - Supports 4 assessment types: Pre-Operative Screening (for LASIK and cataract surgery candidates), ASCRS Pre-Op, Accelerated Dry Eye Assessment, and Gold Standard - Generates structured treatment recommendations across OTC products, prescriptions, exercises, and in-office procedures - Exports reports in multiple PDF formats and supports one-click copy to EMR - Tracks patient outcomes and treatment progress visit-over-visit ## Who It's For - Optometrists and ophthalmologists managing dry eye disease as a routine or specialized part of their practice - Refractive and cataract surgeons who need standardized pre-operative dry eye screening (up to 80% of cataract surgery candidates have some degree of dry eye disease) - Patients looking for a CSI-powered clinic near them, or wanting to understand dry eye symptoms, causes, and treatment options ## Key Pages - [Homepage](https://www.csidryeye.com/index.html): Product overview and value proposition - [For Practitioners](https://www.csidryeye.com/for-practitioners.html): How CSI works for eye care professionals, platform features, FAQs - [How It Works](https://www.csidryeye.com/technology.html): Technical breakdown of the 3-step AI diagnostic process - [Pre-Op Assessment](https://www.csidryeye.com/pre-op-assessment.html): Pre-operative dry eye screening for LASIK and cataract surgery - [For Patients](https://www.csidryeye.com/for-patients.html): Patient-facing information about dry eye disease and finding a CSI clinic - [Dry Eye Assessment](https://www.csidryeye.com/dry-eye-assessment.html): 2-minute patient symptom self-check - [Find a Clinic](https://www.csidryeye.com/patient-lead-form.html): Patient lead form to connect with a CSI-powered clinic - [Request a Demo](https://www.csidryeye.com/request-demo.html): Book a demo for eye care practices ## Patient Education (Knowledge Base) - [What Is Dry Eye Disease?](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/dry-eye-disease.html) - [Causes of Dry Eye](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/causes-of-dry-eye.html) - [Dry Eye Symptoms](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/dry-eye-symptoms.html) - [Dry Eye Treatment Options](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/dry-eye-treatment.html) - [Why Eyes Feel Gritty](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/gritty-eyes.html) - [Photophobia (Light Sensitivity)](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/photophobia.html) - [Causes of Red Eyes](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/red-eye-causes.html) - [Screen Fatigue vs. Dry Eye](https://www.csidryeye.com/knowledge/screen-fatigue.html) ## Contact - [Contact CSI Dry Eye Software](https://www.csidryeye.com/contact.html)
