Creative help needed

How about something showing people what it like to have dry eyes (do they have problems seeing sometimes?) You could do half of it all blurred and half of it regular so that people would understand what it is like. Although, if their eyes don't get burry...just ditch my idea!

or you could have 2 women all dressed up, one with normal eyes, and one with dry, red, itchy eyes. then you could say something like all the designer clothes in the world won't help you look better if you suffer from dry eyes... or something.
or say something like: surveys say eyes are the first thing a man looks at when he meets a woman, so keep them looking good with (product name).
haha i'm hopeless!

I like this. I was also thinking you could do a close up of an eye and Photoshop it with a desert image as part of the iris to illustrate dry eye. Not sure what kinds of tools you're working with, though. That would require major Photoshop work.

when you have dry eyes you really cant see too well right?
have someone start the day with dry eyes trying to get dressed and have them dress funny, not matching,etc. Getting in the car to their destination and ending up somewhere else. Eating food and its something else. all the while rubbing and/or yawning a lot. I say yawning cause when my contacts are dry I tend to yawn A LOT to wet them. And I just want to YANK out my contacts!
eyes get red too right? I feel when people see my red eyes from my contacts being dry, that they probably think I'm stoned! hehe!
Just random ideas.
hopefully we help in some way...
good luck

I thought of the expression "not a dry eye in the house" - referring to an emotional experience at a theater, wedding, etc. I doubt there's a way to use that, though...

Edit to add: i cant get my pictures to show up... any help? They are on my desktop not online and im using a mac

Thanks for all the help and advice. Heres what i ended up doing: (sorry for big pics)

At the beginning of my talk it will look like this

When I talk about the self care, i will remove and flip over the red and white pieces of the eye one by one.
