I can easily see my bottom plugs but can't see my upper plugs

[vicki1778]

I never knew dry eyes could affect one's life so much. No matter who I mention it to, they hardly even respond. Of course, we all know it's certainly not the worst thing a person could get, but a little support would help a lot!

I didn't know there were names like surface or intracanicular. Mine are just inserted into the lower tear ducts. Sometimes they last a very long time and other times one or both might pop out. The ones I have now have been in for quite a long time -- maybe a year or so.

What kind of plugs do you have, the surface type or intracanalicular?

It's best not to try to maneuver your eyelids to try to see the plugs. As for knowing if they are in or not -- if they were not in, then you would soon start getting the dry eye discomfort. I've been going through this for over a year. Hopefully, the present ones will stay in place!

hey guys! i have had lower plugs for a month now and can easily see them in a mirror. i just got upper plugs today and can not see them in a mirror, even in a well light room when i lift my eyelid. does anyone else have trouble locating the upper plugs. i can easily see the lower plugs though. how can i know all 4 plugs are in?
thanks so much!
