Dr. Tina Diehl of Maloney Vision Institute was featured on the “The Doctors” TV show performing our preferred treatment for dry eyes – Punctal Plugs.  Watch as she explains and performs the treatment live.

Punctal plugs are a great treatment option for dry eyes because they can provide instantaneous relief.   The tiny silicone plugs are placed in the opening of the tear outflow ducts in the eyelids (called "puncta") to block tear drainage to keep the eyes more moist.   The treatment is completely painless, only takes a few seconds and it is typically covered by medical insurance.  If you are suffering from dry, irritated eyes, call our office today to see if this may be a good option for you.
