I am a long time dry eye pt with multiple severe illnesses. In my long time experience I have found that eye drs., neither optometrists or ophthalmologists take this condition seriously at all. My eye siccs has been increasing, esp. Over the past 2.5 years. I need help but don't know where to find it. I also appreciate the research and effort that DEF has been doing into the safety, or should I say non-safety of eye drops. These drops are expensive and many insurance plans will not pay for them…then to find out how unregulated they are! This is very scary indeed. If I had more money I would certainly donate more, but being chronically ill & disabled makes it very tough financially. Thank you for the worthy work you have embarked upon.

Your annual report opened with a powerful depiction of what dry eye feels like to so many. It has taken some time, but the efforts to bring this condition to the medical "eye" has gained credibility. It is effective to reach as many persons to engage in support of research/understanding as possible. This can be achieved through exhibits in a national forum. I support this effort and appreciate your vigilance on products and procedures.

Almost 8.5 years since my lasik procedure I still have severe dry eye, but I am a happy person, a good dad, and a hard and productive worker. This seemed unattainable in the months after my operation and when I was realizing I would likely have to deal with it forever.
