How Dry Eye patients view their doctors — and how social media may shape those views — is key to understanding the experiences patients have when seeking care. That’s why we’re helping to recruit participants for a pilot study designed to explore these issues.

Why Patient Experiences Matter
Dry Eye patients often have very different experiences with the care they receive. Some feel supported and understood, while others struggle to find clinicians who recognize the severity of their symptoms or offer meaningful relief. These differences can influence how patients make decisions about their care and where they turn for information or support. 
The research study at the University of Central Florida aims to explore these experiences.
