Internal consistency, construct validity, and test-retest reliabilities were determined. Exploratory factor analyses were also performed.@*Results@#The TTOS showed high internal consistency with Cronbach alpha of 0.92, high reliability with Pearson's coefficient of 0.85, and high validity with Spearman’s coefficient of 0.67.@*Conclusion@#The TTOS is a valid and reliable tool to measure the level of trust of Filipino patients in their ophthalmologists.
