Dry eye is a chronic condition that can cause
discomfort, reduced vision, and eventually scarring of the surface
of the eye in extreme cases.
As an alternative to daily drop use to treat the
dryness, punctal plugs can be used to retain more of your own
natural tears on your eyes.
• Punctal plugs are small pieces of
silicone that are inserted into the area of the ey where
excess tears are drained from the eye.
• The process of punctual occlusion is performed in the
optometry office, takes only a few minutes, and is not
painful.
• Punctal plugs are an important part of a chronic dry
eye treatment program.
