Free patient handout tools for eye clinics

Three handout builders for common office situations: dry eye, eyelid conditions, and eyedrop schedules. Check the boxes that match your plan, and each tool prints a clean page for the patient.

They are designed for a black-and-white laser printer, carry no practice letterhead, and work without an internet connection once saved.

Handouts

Open a tool to use it in your browser, or download it to keep a copy on your computer or a shared drive.

Dry eye treatment plan

Select lubricating drops and ointments, set the eye for each, and print a sheet with product photos so patients know what to buy.

Covers iVIZIA, Systane Pro PF, Soothe, Muro 128 solution and ointment, and Refresh P.M. Includes step-by-step drop and ointment technique adapted from the AAO.

Eyelid condition instructions

Choose the diagnosis and treatments, and the tool builds instructions with a dated medication schedule and a short explanation of the condition.

Chalazion, external and internal hordeolum, blepharitis, MGD, and Demodex blepharitis. Warm compresses, Tobradex tapers, oral antibiotics, lid hygiene, erythromycin, and Xdemvy. Generates chart-note text to paste into the record.

Eyedrop schedule

Build a time-of-day schedule for multiple drops, with start and stop dates and multi-phase tapers laid out on the calendar.

Glaucoma agents, steroids, antibiotics, antibiotic-steroid combinations, cycloplegics, dry eye prescriptions, and Muro 128. Adds the 5-minute spacing and ointment-last instructions when they apply.

How to use

Each tool is a single file. No account, installation, or setup is needed.

  1. Open the tool

    Click Open, or double-click a downloaded copy. Edge and Chrome both work.

  2. Fill in the plan

    Check the medications and options you want. The clinic name and phone fields are optional and print only if filled in.

  3. Print

    Use the tool's Print button. Only the selected items appear on the page.

Notes

Privacy

The tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type, including patient names, is stored or sent anywhere, and it disappears when you close the page. A printed or saved PDF is handled like any other patient document.

Working offline

Downloaded copies contain everything they need and do not contact any outside server, so they work on networks that restrict web access.

Clinical judgment

Default frequencies and tapers are starting points. Review every handout against your own plan and your facility's formulary before giving it to a patient.

Cost

These tools are offered free of charge for clinical use. You are welcome to share them with colleagues.
