dry eye /punctual plugs

[liza1975]

I have dry eye and had permanent punctual plugs inserted into one of my lower tear ducts.
About four days later Ive been having pressure around both eyes.
I dont have redness or irritation .. just slight headaches with the pressure.

Should I wait it out or have them removed?

Thanks

I had read in a post your reccomendation for a opthmologist that specializes in nerve issues about 2 weeks ago  and you gave a site to go to but I have lost it.


Thank you

No usual signs of problem pain, redness, tearing, mattering, feeling the plug rub the eye. NEEDS however a look with the miicroscope to see if all is well.

I use Restasis 10 times more often than plugs now.

Have you seen this to be a common side effect of permanent plugs?

That's a question for whomever plugged you.
