Dry Eye patients often have very different experiences with the care they receive. Some feel supported and receive excellent care, while others struggle to find doctors who understand their symptoms or can offer meaningful relief.

These differences can shape how patients view their doctors, how they decide to seek care, or even how they use social media for information or support.
We are currently recruiting participants for a small pilot phase of a research study at the University of Central Florida to better understand these Dry Eye patients’ experiences. The study explores how Dry Eye patients view their doctors and whether social media use plays a role in shaping those views.
