One of my plugs fell out

[np1981]

It's been 24 hours since one of my lower pluggs fell out (still have the uppers), and yet my eyes are still quite moist. I'm a bit concerned that the plug ha migrated down, although at the moment I can't feel a thing.

If it were me, I would be seeing my eye doc ASAP to confirm just where that plug is, or is not. I don't think there is any sure way to know otherwise. Granted I am not too familiar with the type of plug that you have so maybe others can help?

Much more likely for a capped plug to fall out than work its way in - they are generally pretty snug fitting and the caps are designed for a purpose. However I agree with Kitty about confirming this with an examination. I wouldn't necessarily expect a dramatic difference in symptoms immediately after losing a plug.

Can you let me know if you confirmed that the bottom one did actually fall out. It would be interesting because I would like to try out only having plugs in the uppers but am afraid to do so. I find myself wondering however, if what they say is really true - that the uppers only stop 40% while the lowers stop 60% of the tears from escaping.

Yes, it had fallen out of my left eye. I didn't really "feel" much difference while it was gone, there still felt like moisture in my eye, though there was not as much in my other (right) eye. I am going to have the plug replaced in over a week.
