[In Florida]

Has anyone used plugs in their tear ducts for dry eyes? Seems like an easier way to go than Restasis which I do nightly and are expensive and OTC eye drops which I forget to do.

Has anyone had dreams of getting better and then waking up to reality? I've only woken up and its 4am drinking orange juice. Just woken up from a lovely dream of having no dry eye and finishing university but not sure what brought it on. Just curious if anyone has dreams of this happening to them?
