mtpeony, I know you are tired of hearing from me. My doctor tried to remove my temporary plugs at the 3 week mark (That is when they are usually dissolved) as one was almost dissolved and the other was not. He could not remove them at this point and I go back August 1st as they will probably be completely dissolved. I am hoping and praying that yours will dissolve soon and you will get relief. I personally would try a different eye doctor and get a 2nd opinion if I were you. I know this has to be miserable. Eyes are so sensitive. My heart goes out to you. Praying for you to get relief.
