Let us know how it turns out but dry eye seems to be very treatable (a drag though)
Thanks for the advice. I have been to three optometrists and an opthamologist and none of them have mentioned the punctal plugs. I will have to mention it to my optometrist and see what she knows about them. The opthamologist that I went to did say there was a surgery that could correct my dry eyes, he may have been speaking of the punctal surgery. I'll just have to save my flight instructor paychecks for the next 20 years to pay for it.
