Fabulous product! The patients find it more comfortable than what we were using previously. It has replaced our silicone plugs 100%, we don't even use silicone plugs in the office any more.
Nice to have another choice in this category for patient comfort.
Comfortear Lacrisolve 180 is an excellent absorbable punctal plug. I can be sure it will help the patient's dry eye and ocular surface for approximately 6 months. I typically use this product post-LASIK/PRK, and post-KAMRA and Raindrop corneal inlay procedures - all of which need pristine ocular surface conditions to gain best results.
Surface plugs can occasionally cause a foreign body sensation. To eliminate this variable when choosing punctal occlusion I prefer an intercanalicular dissolvable plug. 180 days helps those patients who prefer less chair time and are uncomfortable with surface plugs. I occasionally will dilate the puncta to make insertion of the .4mm and .5mm plugs easier.
I use this plug when I establish that punctal occlusion therapy is going to help the patient. This one last six months so it is effective and convenient for the patient who needs to come in only twice a year for replacement.. I particularly like the duration when I am performing LASIK or premium lens cataract surgery in a patient with high tear osmolarity.
