4 Punctal Plugs - lots of tears now

4 Punctal Plugs - lots of tears now

Hi,


I had bottom plugs put in 6 wks ago, they helped but there was still some dryness and I was getting fed up with putting drops in 4 times a day...went back to opthamologist yesterday and he put them in the upper ducts as well.  Yesterday and today I have been having to wipe tears away, is this normal for the first little while? If so, how long should I give my eyes to get used to these upper plugs as well?

Another question: if all 4 of my tear ducts are plugged now, then where are my tears going to?  

Thanks!
