Is there any downside to getting punctal plugs? Is it worth diving into after a few months of dry eye?

I got lasik 3.5 years ago. Recently, I slept with a desk fan pointed at my head (I was moving house and hauled up in a sweat box), and I think that triggered some dry eye. It's been going on for 2 months.

I paid to see a private eye doctor who suggested plugs, but I'm wondering if it's worth jumping into so soon? They are a little pricey. And I think the dry eye is getting a little better, I had a day of intense light sensitivity a month ago, and it hasn't been that intense since.

Then again, I can afford it, so if there's no downside, I might just go with it plus the special drops the doctor suggested.
