I have a puntal plug in my upper Left lid -- had them in all but the others fell out. I read somewhere to take Flax Seed Oil and tried it (I take 1000mg. daily) My dry eyes started following cataract and Lazer surgery. Not sure what helped but they are better and I still take the Flax Seed Oil. Some of my problem was a result of allergy. Hope you find relief as this is very uncomfortable.
