plugs, general anesthetics, argh

[space_cadet]

So despite hourly artificial tears, it seeems my eyes aer still rediculusly dry.

I saw eye doc yesterday, and the new treatment plan is 3 months of a very strong anti biotic (I forget its name) but it has ghastly side effects, and then under a general anesthetic plugs fitted to the right eye and probably left as well. There isa obstruction in right which is preventing tears from forming, he isn't too sure as to what the obstruction is other than a "lump" but the artificial tears are essentially just running straight out and is "pointless" to keep on with them.

He says I have the "dryest eye post op Iv ever come upon" - sigh.

Anyone got any experience?
