Your Tears Are Disappearing

You put in eye drops, and for a few minutes, your eyes feel better. Then that familiar burning returns. It's like your tears are vanishing before they can do their job.

The problem isn't that you don't make enough tears—it's that they're draining away too quickly through your tear ducts, leaving your eyes dry and uncomfortable all day long.

  • Constant need to reapply eye drops
  • Burning, itchy sensation that returns quickly
  • Eyes that feel dry even right after using drops
Fast-Draining Tears Lead to Bigger Problems

When your natural tears drain too quickly, you're not just dealing with discomfort—you're putting your eye health at risk. Your eyes are vulnerable.

Increased risk of eye infections
Corneal damage from lack of lubrication
Complete dependence on artificial tears
You shouldn't have to carry eye drops everywhere you go or set reminders to lubricate your eyes throughout the day.

Punctal Plugs: Keep Your Natural Tears Where They Belong
