Robert Latkany, MD quote:
"Although there is a greater awareness of dry eye nowadays?thanks to increasing lifespans but more stressful lives,
as well as the growth of eye procedures such as LASIK and blepharoplasties?the condition deserves even more attention, Dr. Latkany said."
?I have patients from around the world. They?re desperate and crying out for help,? he said. ?It?s borderline scary. Numerous times I?ve heard people say they want to commit suicide. To the eye doctor, [dry eye] is just a nuisance [when], in fact, these patients are really suffering.?
