our mission / vision
Our mission: Why we exist
The Dry Eye Company was established in 2004 to improve quality of life for people suffering from chronic dry eye by helping them access the best information, professional care, and consumer products available.
Our vision: What we hope to achieve
We want to raise the bar in dry eye care.
We want our activities and character as a company to have an impact on what other companies are doing and on what medical practitioners are doing. We want our presence to challenge them to think more about patients/consumers and their real needs.
We want to help our community find its collective voice and communicate its thoughts to the industry and to healthcare professionals, in such a way that they will feel both invited and compelled to respond.
We want to encourage and challenge patients and doctors and scientists to work together as a team to unravel the complex puzzle of ocular surface disease.
We want to find and partner with companies and people whose values overlap with ours.
We want to find ways to encourage the types of innovations and creative thinking that we know are out there waiting to be tapped - so as to help usher in an era of better prevention, better healthcare and better self-care for people with dry eye disease.
