Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 The discussion about dry eye and plugs is very interesting. I've had some eye problems, mostly eye strain (on the computer all day) and bad night vision (blurriness/halos around lights). I don't know if I have dry eye or not, how can you tell? I started using artificial tears several times a day, which feels good for a little while but I'm not sure if I need it or not. How do you tell if you have dry eye? If I whip through the mall in my wheelchair (if you don't like the way I drive, shop somewhere else ) my eyes get really dry because of the wind. Otherwise,... well, I don't know. I can't wear contacts because they drive me nuts, maybe because my eyes are dry? No doctors have really said to me, " whoa dude, your eyes are like way dry! " . On the plugs - I don't understand how this works ... if the tear duct is plugged, wouldn't you have *less* tears? Or does the plug force the tears inward to the eye through osmosis or something? It sounds like those of you who've had the plugs liked them. Mike A in FL [To Plug Or Not To Plug, That Is The Question] ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
