Introduction: The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the Standardized Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness questionnaire to European Portuguese, as well as assess the psychometric performance of the translated version, including repeatability and agreement.

Material And Methods: The original Standardized Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness - SPEED questionnaire was translated and adapted to the Portuguese cultural context by following a scientifically valid methodology commonly used in the process of adapting tools to other cultures and languages. The questionnaire resulting from the translation into the new language was subject to a pre-test where the comments of the participants were written and considered for the final version of the questionnaire.
