FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Permanent (silicone) punctal plugs last indefinitely and can be removed if needed. Dissolvable plugs last 3-6 months and are sometimes used as a trial before permanent plugs.
Most patients benefit from a course of 3-4 IPL sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. The exact number depends on the severity of your condition.
Most treatments are well tolerated. Punctal plug insertion is quick and painless. IPL feels like a warm, gentle pulse on the skin. Meibomian gland expression may cause mild temporary pressure.
Dry eye is typically a chronic condition that can be effectively managed and significantly improved with the right treatment, but it requires ongoing management in most cases.
