Punctal Plug Insertion: A Procedure to Relieve Dry Eyes •Punctal plug insertion is a simple and effective eye procedure used to treat dry eyes by conserving natural tears. •In this procedure, tiny biocompatible plugs are placed into the tear drainage ducts (puncta) to prevent tears from draining too quickly, keeping the eyes moist for a longer time.•This treatment is commonly recommended for people with moderate to severe dry eye symptoms such as burning, irritation, redness, and a gritty sensation.• It is especially helpful when lubricating eye drops alone are not sufficient.•The procedure is quick, painless, and performed in an outpatient setting without the need for surgery.• The plugs can be temporary or permanent depending on the patient’s condition.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide safe and effective punctal plug treatments to improve tear retention and enhance eye comfort. •Proper evaluation helps determine the best approach for long-term relief.#DryEyes #PunctalPlug #EyeProcedure #HealthyEyes 👁️
