I'm pretty sure the eye doctor will have me use the mineral oil gels before moving on to punctal plugs. I'm going to try to be a bit more aggressive about using the drops during the day. I'm too used to ignoring minor irritations!

Here's a strange question for you -

I woke up the other night with dry eyes and when I opened my eyes in the dark - I saw concentric rings of bright yellow light. The rings were broken, not continuous. I blinked a few times, and each time I blinked, the rings faded and grew smaller until they vanished. I'm sure this was some artifact of the eye surface being dry, but I never heard of this before. Have you heard of or experienced this?
