Tired of chronically dry, irritated eyes?
Let’s talk about a game-changer: punctal plugs.
Punctal plugs are tiny biocompatible devices placed in the tear ducts (called puncta) to block tear drainage, helping your natural tears stay on the surface of your eyes longer — which means more moisture, less dryness, and a whole lot more comfort.
How they work:
Think of them like a stopper in a sink. By gently blocking the “drain” in your eyes, they conserve your own tears instead of letting them drain too quickly.
There are both temporary (dissolvable) and long-term (silicone) options — depending on your needs.
Quick, in-office, and painless — they can make a huge difference in how your eyes feel throughout the day.
