Are Stents In Eye Advisable While On Restasis?

I have been using Restasis for three years. Last year my eye Dr. installed stints in my tear ducts. I still have chronic dry eye and noticed in the instruction sheet that stints are not supposed to be used with Restasis I asked my eye Dr. about this and he replied not to worry about it.
