for migraine
If tears are draining too quickly from the eye, punctal plugs can be used to block the tear ducts and help keep tears on the eye longer.
Other in-office procedures can help treat dry eye, such as intense pulsed light and thermal treatments LipiFlow, iLux, or TearCare.
A procedure known as amniotic membrane transplantation can also help treat severe dry eye.
Different types of in-office or surgical options are possible, depending on the cause of dry eye symptoms.
Conjunctivochalasis — especially nasally — can also cause dry eye symptoms and, at times, require surgical treatment.
Structural issues in the eye, such as loose eyelids, can also lead to dry eye. In these cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the eyelids, though this is not very common.
If necessary, permanent surgical closure of the tear ducts may be an option to help treat dry eye.

CGRP therapies for migraine prevention are injectable drugs. The most common side effect is injection site reactions, which may cause swelling, pain, or itching around the injection site.
Skin
CGRP therapy blocks the action of CGRP, which plays a role in relaxing blood vessels. Although more research is necessary, CGRP therapy might raise the risk of high blood pressure.
Cardiovascular system
CGRP therapy may increase the risk of certain respiratory and urinary tract infections. In rare cases, CGRP therapy may trigger a hypersensitivity immune reaction that can range from mild to severe.
Immune system
CGRP therapy may help prevent nausea and vomiting from migraine. On the other hand, CGRP therapy may sometimes cause nausea as a side effect of treatment. Other potential side effects include diarrhea, constipation, and cramps.
Gastrointestinal system
Head, senses, and mood
GRP therapy can help limit the number of days per month that a person experiences migraine headaches. It may help prevent other migraine symptoms, including hypersensitivity to light, sounds, and smells. It may also help prevent migraine aura symptoms, such as visual disturbances.
CGRP therapies help block the action of CGRP, which is a protein that nerve cells produce. CGRP appears to play a role in increasing the sensitivity of nerve fibers.
