Eye doctor follow up
Not only is the right tear duct still clogged despite last year's surgery, but the left one is now clogged, too.
The next step is surgery to enter tubes into both tear ducts to make them larger. After 6 months, the tubes are taken back out and we cross our fingers that it worked. The surgery they did last year has a 90% success rate. Of the 10% that go on to the tube surgery, 90% of them remain symptom free. The other 10% go on to the next surgery, where they rebuild the tear duct system. We're hoping we don't have to go there.
Surgery probably won't be scheduled until next week, but there we are.
