Punctal Plugs for Dry Eye: Retain & Regenerate Your Tears
Punctal plugs are a popular solution designed to retain your natural tears, providing relief from evaporative dry eye. But if your natural tears are of poor quality or lack key healing factors, you need more than just retention. Enrich's personalized Serum and PRP drops are the advanced, regenerative fluid your plugs are designed to conserve.
Punctal Plugs: Retaining Tears vs. Improving Tear Quality
Punctal plugs are tiny, biocompatible devices inserted into the tear ducts (puncta) to treat a specific type of dry eye called Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye (ADDE).
How They Work
(The Retention)
-
Action: Plugs physically block the drainage pathway, acting like a stopper in a sink.
-
Goal: To slow the rate at which your natural tears leave the eye, keeping the surface lubricated for a longer time.
-
Ideal For: Patients whose primary problem is a lack of tear volume (aqueous deficiency).
The Critical Limitation
(The Quality Problem)
-
While plugs are excellent for retention, they do not improve tear quality. If your natural tears lack the necessary growth factors, vitamins, or anti-inflammatory proteins, simply retaining them will not provide the deep healing required for long-term relief.
-
This is why many doctors recommend combining plugs with a regenerative fluid—to ensure the tears being conserved are actively healing the eye.
The Enrich Solution: Personalized Regenerative Fluid to Retain
Plugs are effective at retention, but they cannot change the quality of the tear fluid being retained. If your natural tears are deficient in the essential elements needed for healing, your plugs are merely conserving an ineffective lubricant.
Enrich's personalized autologous eye drops (PRP & Serum Tears) provide the missing component: a potent, regenerative fluid that actively heals the ocular surface while your plugs keep it in place.
