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

dry eye

How long have you had it?

40 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?

Severely dry eyes even for those who wear prose lens are very uncomfortable and difficult to manage. Cold AC, ceiling fans, bright sunlight and wind and cold weather cause discomfort and may prohibit the sufferer from participating in some activities. Air travel is a challenge. Caring for dry eyes takes time and patience.

What has helped you the most?

prose lens

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