Is the Auria test painful?

The sample strip is a thin piece of filter paper that is commonly used to test for dry eye. Typically, once the strip begins to get wet, the slight irritation goes away.

In a survey conducted with over 400 individuals, the average reported pain score after using the sample strip was 1.4 out of 10, with 0 being no pain/discomfort and 10 being intense pain/discomfort.
