Rebecca,
Thank you for a wonderful resource and well-organized website. When I developed Dry Eye Disease in 1985, I went through the usual ping-pong from ophthalmologist to ophthalmologist with no relief and was able to find little literature on the subject. As years passed, I found somewhat more written material through medical channels, but it was only after a bad symptom flare beginning in Sept 2010, that I was motivated to do a general websearch that yielded your site.
To my fellow sufferers, bless you all and hang in there. Understanding of our malady is increasing, and gradually our options expand. Since many of us do not have dramatic physical signs of disease, we often cannot obtain the serious medical focus that macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma or corneal scarring will receive. I am a physician, largely retired now, and even though I understand these issues, it is still difficult to find effective care.
