I have suffered with Sjogren's Syndrome for many years. This condition has causedme to have extremely dry eyes. Dr. P has been treating me and suggested punctumplugs. I am happy to say that my eyes feel much better, and I am using artificial tears much less frequently. It is a comfort to know that there is a solution for better vision. -- Mrs. PMQ, Boston, MA
I am a big fan of punctum plugs. I had a patient who could not open her eyes. She was real sensitive to light and miserable from dry eyes. We talked about options and chose silicone plugs.
She came back with wide eyes, smiles and hugs. She had never been comfortable like this in her life.
I had a patient in a certain brand of soft contact lenses. As time went by, her wearing time went down and I saw her several times in pain with cystoid corneal edema.
We decided to try punctum plugs starting with the collagen and eventually inserted silicone plugs in all four lids. This provided her with enough comfort to
wear her lenses over six hours without discomfort.
I am very experienced with occlusion having done over 3,000 cases over the years.
I believe that over 50% of the chronic sinus and allergy sufferers are caused in the most part by dry eyes. I think we should be on the highest roof tops shouting to the world that we can help them! |
