Why Do You Have to Give Eye Drops Again and Again?

If you have dry eyes, your eyes may not be producing Not enough tears, or tears come out too quickly.

‍

Applying artificial tears offers temporary relief, but they drain quickly by your natural drainage channels. It's a frustrating and expensive cycle of constant addiction.

‍

The Meatic Corks offer a logical solution. Think of your eye as a sink: if the drain is open, water drains out quickly. Meatic plugs act like the drain plug, holding valuable moisture on the surface of the eye for longer.

FAQS

Can the cork fall out or get lost in my body?

It is possible for a cork to fall out if it is not the right size, in which case it can be replaced. It cannot be “lost” in the body; the tear duct is a closed system leading to the nose.

What happens if my eyes get too watery?

That's why we often start with temporary traffic jams to test the response. If your eyes water excessively, the semi-permanent plugs can be removed very easily in the clinic (reversible procedure).

Is it painful to insert plugs?

No The insertion is very quick and painless. We can use a numbing drop to maximize your comfort, but a lot of patients don't even need it.

Will I feel the plug in my eye?

Once properly inserted, the plug is usually imperceptible, just as you don't feel your tear ducts right now.
