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.

Not having them removed due to any problem. The reason I was trying to get them removed was because, I went for my 3 week checkup and they should have dissolved by them....but they hadn't. Doctor was going on vacation for a month and I was hoping to get the permanent ones in before he left. He said he could try and remove the temporary ones and put in the permanent ones, but he couldn't remove them. I will have to wait until August and hopefully they will be fully dissolved by then. They have been wonderful for me!
