TFOS DEWS II is an exciting international medical consensus project spanning nearly two years of work by well over a hundred top researchers and clinicians from around the world.
The fruit of their efforts, a lengthy report on everything from dry eye pathophysiology to treatments to everything we know about pain and sensation in dry eye disease, will be released July 15th in the ophthalmology journal Cornea. I've been privileged to serve on their public awareness and education committee and am so thrilled to see this long awaited day approaching. Chomping at the bit to start getting this much needed information into the hands of the people who need it most!
Meantime, on Wednesday, July 12, TFOS are giving a congressional briefing, with highlights of the report!

Hi Rebecca,
I don't know if this is the place for this comment, but I wanted to let you know that I have found a wonderful optician in Ithaca, NY who made some terrific moisture chamber glasses for me. (I've spoken with you in the past--I had Bell's Palsy which left me with one eye that doesn't close or blink properly). William Rich has a small business in Dryden NY (near Ithaca) called Falcon Optical (falconoptical.com), and has a particular interest in helping people with unusual needs in terms of eyewear. Very nice person, and has gone out of his way to help me. I initially gave him information from Scott Kornfeld in Long Island, who has been doing this for years. He talked with Scott, who also sent him some materials. He has now made a pair of bifocals, distance only and reading glasses for me. Each pair has been better than the one before as he gained skill, and the last pair was perfect. I highly recommend him!
