Dry Eye Problems....

Posted By Bonnie on June 28, 1999 at 17:23:03
Doctor,
I am a 19 year old female.  I wear contacts and about a year ago I noticed that my eyes felt extremely dry and I could hardly wear contacts in the mornings and I had extreme sensitivity to light.  My eye doctor suggested punctal plugs in my lower ducts.  The temporary plugs worked very well so I tried for the permanent plugs.  I went off to school and I assume the plugs came out sometime during the year.  I just recently went to the eye doctor and had another set of plugs put in and they came out the very next day.  Last week I had another set put in and they have stayed in for one week now.  I have to press one in place every so often since it comes out of the duct sometimes.  What is cauterization (spelling?) and what are the side effects?  I also have temporary plugs in my upper ducts.  They are doing no good as of one day.  What are my other options?  Help...
