Kim has had Thyroid Eye Disease for 14 years. She wishes people understood how uncomfortable it is, that it never goes away and that her eyes feel tired by midday. Surgeries and treatments have helped. She has a doctor in Missouri that she recommends.

What is your diagnosis (or diagnoses if you have more than one)?

Thyroid Eye Disease

How long have you had it?

14 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?

How uncomfortable it is.  It never goes away.  Eyes feel tired by mid day

What has helped you the most?

Have had several eye surgeries over the years that have helped.  Ivizia OTC eye drops help.  I have tried Miebo but it’s pretty expensive (prescription).  Moisture goggles purchased at Dry Eye Shop have helped too.

Are there any dry eye resources you'd like to recommend?
