Dry eye plugs

Well, I felt too lucky that my first RGP's were a perfect fit, and at today's after care appointment I've got blood vessels going on to the cornea, so had to order new lenses. I was also recommended plugs for dry eyes, that I change annually. Does anyone have plugs?
Thank you.

I don't; my dry eye is controlled by using preservative free artificial tears (I use Clinitas Soothe). I do know other who have plugs fitted and for whom they work very well.

Every good wish.

Thank you Andrew, I think I'll stick to putting lubricating drops in every hour for now. Since KC is something I only found out existed 7weeks ago, I don't feel emotionally ready just yet to have plugs inside my ducts.
Thank you.

yups I have plugs in both eyes, they regularily fall out in fact I am sure they are currently out n have to be put back in, they are by no means a cure for dry eye more to me just a way to assist with lubrication. x
