Lacrisert vs. Liposic vs. Refresh Lacri-Lube vs. Refresh Liquigel

A few weeks ago i went to my optician who gave me an eye exam. He asked me if i had any problems with my eyes and I said yes my left eye has felt like there is something in it,like a hair or a small object, near the tear duct area.

He checked and said there was nothing wrong. He gave me some Liposic (it has not helped at all) and sent me on my way. I have felt this object in my eye for months before. So I went to the doctor and told him. He didn’t check my eye. He just prescribed lacrisert. But when i went to get this medication the pharmacy told me it was 100’s of dollars and wasn’t covered on my medical coverage. 

The pharmacist then contacted the doctor who had prescribed Lacrisert inserts, and I was switched to refresh lacri-lube and refresh liquigel (drops)..is this for people with dry or watery eyes?..i dont have either,should go to another eye doctor at a hospital for a third opinion?…This is driving me bonkers.
