The novel design of the eye self-test device (10) increases patient compliance by reminding the patient to self-test using audio indicator (13), and allows the patient's doctor to monitor compliance with the testing regimen. The device (10) is programmed for test recording in one, two or three days or another interval, by pressing one of the bottoms (14, 16, 18). The data may be recorded, and the patient nofified if a change in vision necessitates examination by the doctor. The test is robustly manufactured to withstand breakage, is lightweight, and portable. Its preferred method of attachment is such that it is capable of adhering to any vertically visible surfaces such that the conspicuous location of the test should encourage an improvement in testing compliance. Patient information, including instructions for testing, the doctor's name, and telephone number for contacting in case of emergency may be provided internal or external to the device.
