A member asked:
I've been to two ophthalmologists and they say i don't have much dryness and to use artificial tears even after plugs i still have burning eyes daily?

Other options: Plugs allow you to keep what tears you make or add to the eye. If you are still symptomatic, then there are other things - various drops, some prescription items, and supportive measures that can improve the condition. Go back to the ophthalmologist who inserted the plugs and see what else is available.
