SANDE Questionnaire
The Symptom Assessment iN Dry Eye (SANDE) questionnaire. Subjects are asked to place an 'X' on the line to indicate both the frequency and severity of their dry eye symptoms. Each question is scored from 0 to 100. The scores for frequency and severity are used to calculate a total score, where Total Score = square.root\[Q1 \* Q2\]. Higher total score on the questionnaire indicates more frequent or severe dry eye symptoms.
