I have to go back to my eye doctor next Friday to have him put in punctal plugs. What do they do to put them in? Is it painful?

I have 4. It takes just a sec and doesn't hurt at all. It helped me.:)
It has really helped me and didn't hurt.

Thanks Chris and Sharon. That sounds great. I hope they help me too.
Me and my husband both had eye exams today, and I was wanting a new prescription for Restasis, and he said he wanted to try the plugs first to see if they helped.
If they do, I might not have to use the Restasis again.

The plug seems like the size of a small eyelash which he inserted with a tweezer-like instrument; it took one second, was not uncomfortable and no pain at all. My eyes felt better initially, but over the course of a few weeks, my eyes felt even more comfortable (but still dry and need drops every day). I still want to try Restasis, though!
