Writing this was a labor of love for the Dry Eye Foundation and something I had wanted to do for years. I was so happy to finally be able to make time for it just in time for DEF's first Patient Symposium in July 2025. I hope you find it encouraging, informative and practical.

For a free copy of this handbook, please become a member of the Dry Eye Foundation! A copy will be included in your welcome packet. You can also purchase extra copies in DEF's online store.

From the booklet introduction:

Are you experiencing persistent eye symptoms like stinging, burning, grittiness, irritation, light sensitivity, or watering?
Has this affected your life in unexpected and distressing ways?
Have you felt discouraged by ineffective treatments, or by words
like “chronic” or “progressive”? Are you anxious about not finding
answers and solutions?

There is hope. People reach out frequently to let us know how
much better they are now and how they got there. They often
share about what they wish they had known earlier.

  • We wrote this booklet to help you:
  • Know that you are not alone
  • View your disease(s) from a fresh perspective
  • Navigate medical appointments with more confidence
  • See the big picture of treatment options
  • Identify ways to improve your quality of life
  • Feel encouraged about the future

These 60 pages contain everything from orientation and distilled
community wisdom to worksheets and technical reference lists. Not all of it will seem relevant to all readers. A first browse may
even feel overwhelming. If you’re struggling, we suggest you start
either on page 5 (“You Are Not Alone”) for some orientation and
advice or skip ahead to page 30 (“What Works?”).

We hope each of you will find something helpful. And we’re here
if you need us!

With love,

Your friends at the Dry Eye Foundation
