Dry Eye Foundation

A nonprofit organization
Fundraise

The Dry Eye Foundation is a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Poulsbo, Washington. 

DEF has long roots as a dedicated “by-and-for-patients” organization for the dry eye community. This work began almost 20 years ago as DryEyeZone, the popular patient information platform and online forum started by DEF co-founder Rebecca Petris. 

We strive to listen to and collect the needs of our community and develop programs and platforms that make a difference. We have a national and international reach through robust virtual community support programs and educational content.
