    I had temporary collagen plugs put in last Wednesday. So far, so good, my tearing and irritation has been greatly reduced. I'm only using artificial tears a couple of times daily. I was told if I like them I can go back in 3 months and get permanent ones.

    I had punctal plugs procedure in july of this year, and so far i haven't noticed any change in my MGD (nor good or bad). But now that i've watched this video, I'm afraid I may have complications in the following months, so I'm considering asking my ophtalmologyst to extract the plugs. By the way, thanks to your channel, my contidion has improved A LOT. Greetings from Argentina, South America.

    I had temporary plug inserted twice they didn’t work at all. Three days ago, I had the permanent one inserted. It is comfortable, I don’t feel it but my eyes is tearing worst. I do t know what to do, I am 63 female and suffers from diabetes and hypertension. Could that be a reason why I can’t get relief? What do you suggest? I really hate tearing because I am constantly on zoom meetings.

    Accutane caused my chronic dry eye and light sensitivity. I've been living with the conditions for nearly 18 years now.
    Restasis helped the CDE a lot, but when I had to drop my health insurance, I could no longer afford the drops. The symptoms returned the day after I ran out.
    That was 4 years ago.
    I'll be getting my plugs in June. Fingers crossed they work.

    • @larryjones9773
      @larryjones9773 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was on accutane, as well. Punctal plugs helped me a lot. But, a bigger help has been the new nasal spray, Tyrvaya. With punctal plugs and tyrvaya, I'm much better. Tyrvaya stimulates a nerve, which causes more tears to be produced. Good luck!
