I have had dry eye for more than a few years, I tried Restasis twice and it did not help. So my eye doc inserted silicone plugs in my tear ducts this morning, my left eye feel great but my right eye feels like I have something stuck in it, almost like what it felt like the first time I wore a contact lenses.
Has any has the plugs inserted and how long did it take you to adjust

My dh had that done. It cost us hundreds of dollars and the next time he went to the eye Dr. for his check up, the plugs were gone. He must not have followed Dr.'s orders (as per usual, as my mom used to say). PS: He did not experience any problems when he first got them.

Yes, I have had them…return back to your doc…and like what happened to me, one was loosened and irritated my eye. So make a return appt ASAP.

I had plugs and there was no adjustment period. Unfortunately by the second yearly eye exam they were gone. If you pull down on your eyelid, can you see the tip of the plug? It shouldn't be irritating your eye if it is in place.

I did several times (we tried different sizes), & it didn't even take a full day to get used to them.
But one would always fall out, so I had my punctums sealed by my opthalmologist. I have severe dry eyes, & it has helped. Taking Omega-3 fish oil everyday does as well.

My plugs have never bothered me. I lost one and I knew right away. Had it replaced and no problems since.
