What is your diagnosis (or diagnoses if you have more than one)?
Dry Eye Disease, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, Map-Dot-Fingerprint
How long have you had it?
2+ 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 the variability of your vision can unpredictably impact your daily life.
What has helped you the most?
I’ve tried many things: medication (Restasis, Xiidra), OTC drops, warm compresses, gland expression, supplements etc. to no avail. I have used moisture goggles and they have helped reduce the morning pain.
Are there any dry eye resources you'd like to recommend?
I belong to several Dry Eye FB groups and it is good to hear other suggestions and discussions and to know I am not either alone or crazy.
