Description

Dry eyes driving you mad?

You spend hours working on your computer or staring at your phone.

You turn the car’s air vents away from your eyes.

Dry air or contact lenses transform you into a red-eyed beast.

Friends say, “Do you have pink eye?” because you look so bloodshot.

Can you relate? Congratulations! You have dry eyes, just like 1 in 4 Canadians, and 30 million Americans, who may suffer in silence.

This fast, funny book, by emergency physician Dr. Melissa Yuan-Innes, shows you how to get relief from dry eyes, based on the latest research.

Stop suffering. Start living.

"Dr. Melissa covers every essential point about dry eye care—and makes me laugh out loud."—Dr. Christine Suess, MD, FRCSC, and comprehensive ophthalmologist for 17 years with expertise in treating dry eyes

"I just finished The Emergency Doctor’s Guide to Healing Dry Eyes, and medical humour is now officially my favourite non-fiction genre! The information in this book was bite-sized and actionable. I think it will help a lot of people, myself included." —Dawn Kiddell, dry eye patient, CEO and Chief Librarian of the Cornwall Public Library

“Unfortunately, the gods of dry eye have no sense of humor. I want to use The Emergency Doctor’s Guide to Healing Dry Eyes as a teaching aid for my patients. It pretty much nails a dry eye treatment approach in all aspects. I could feel Dr. Yuan-Innes's frustration and efforts to find relief, and I must admit, I had more than a few smiles along the way.” —Dr. Steven Bacher, Optometrist in Cornwall, Ontario
