Ive had 2 cataracts surgeries one last year,right eye, and the left eye was done 1 month ago.
Now the left eye had begin tearing about a week ago and the doc says the duct may be blocked but not sure.
Now today the right eye started tearing.
Will call the doc on Monday ,again,to tell him about this right eye.
Two blocked ducts after 2 cataract surgery within 1 year????
Something just not right here,ya think?

(the kids think Im crying over something):)
 

My mom never had the surgery but had blocked tear ducts. That was way back in the early sixties and don't know what was done to help her...
 
Ill find out this Monday when I see the eye doc,he better have some good answers or Ill talk to somebody else not in the medical profession.
 

Davey, I have had a blocked tear duct in my left eye twice. First time was two years ago and it
happened again about seven months ago. My family doctor told me to use more drops but that only made
my eye water more. I got an appointment with my optometrist and she knew right away what was wrong
and used something to unblock it after numbing my eye.
I didn't hurt and was a relief to have the watering stopped but I had to go back and have it done over after
about a year and a half.
Good luck and I hope an optometrist can help you too.
