Blocked tear duct


Posted: Nov 18, 2010

Has anyone had this problem?  Just been diagnosed in one eye.  Only have upper punctum as lower closed many years ago for dry eyes.  Now having the opposite problem with continuous tearing running down cheeks.  I know of one person who had surgery for this problem, but it did not work.

Blocked Tear Duct - Shelly

[ In Reply To ..]
My daughter had this problem as a young child in one eye. She also had the constant tearing but it was worse when she was outside. She had the surgery one time and it did not work. This was when she was 2. She had it a second time and it was successful. She is now 19 and has never had any more problems.

We Need Governors Who Bring Our Country Together, Not Tear Us ApartMar 10, 2011

Ronald Reagan Wanted To Tear Down A WallNov 11, 2016
For me that says it all.  Trump is a petty little man not worthy to be called a Republican. For people who say the Republican party ignored them or let them down, you let it happen. What I hated most about this political season was that it demonstrated the real coarsening of America--and nowhere was that more front and center than the vulgar arrogance of Donald Trump. ...

Guess Who Blocked The Paid For Small Business Lending BillJul 29, 2010
Wanna know why?  Because extension of expiring tax breaks for the rich (estate tax on amounts greater than $1 million) were not included, so they threw a hissy.  Every time Reid offered compromises on other amendments, GOP demands changed (sound familiar?).  Now lets see here, true colors shown on this would be anti-small business, anti-tax breaks for anyone who is not rich and anti-jobs creation.  Nice job.  Oh, lest we forget.  Their objections did ...
