Find Lasting Relief from Dry, Irritated Eyes
Dry eyes can make everyday tasks uncomfortable, from reading and driving to working on a screen. If artificial tears aren’t providing enough relief, punctal plugs may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What Are Punctal Plugs?
Punctal plugs are tiny, biocompatible inserts placed in your punctal plugs to help retain natural moisture on your eyes. This quick, painless treatment can provide long-term relief from dryness, irritation, and discomfort.
Are Punctal Plugs Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Experience chronic dry eye symptoms, like burning, redness, or a gritty feeling.
- Rely on artificial tears but still struggle with dryness.
- Wear contact lenses and experience discomfort.
- Have age-related or post-surgery dry eye (LASIK, cataract surgery, etc.).
- Spend long hours on screens or in dry environments.
