What is your diagnosis (or diagnoses if you have more than one)?
Dry eye disease and limbal stem cell deficiency
How long have you had it?
I've had dry eye for about fifteen years, and limbal stem cell deficiency for about five years
What do you wish more people understood about dry eye (or eye pain if that's your main issue) and how it affects people's lives?
It is more than just an annoyance, it affects everything you do. I have severe sensitivity to light so I need to wear special tinted glasses (FL-41), and my vision gets blurry quickly if I am not wearing my scleral lenses
What has helped you the most?
Scleral lenses, FL-41 tinted glasses and Refresh Xtra preservative free eye drops
Are there any dry eye resources you'd like to recommend?
