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?
Dry eye is debilitating. The condition is often painful and always distracting. The constant need for drops is a bit of personal maintenance that can be embarrassing to keep up with in public— and expensive.
What has helped you the most?
PROSE lenses have been life changing!
Are there any dry eye resources you'd like to recommend?
Boston Sight have been a tremendous resource along with my local corneal specialist, Dr Kristin Hammersmith (Penn Medicine).
