I had lasik done in June 2009 and dry eyes commenced immediately and I had permanent punctal plugs put in about a month later. I had extremely dry eyes for about 6 months and then it settled into moderately dry eyes until just recently. Something unexpected has happened. For about 2 weeks now, tears gather in the corner of my left eye and can't drain because the duct is plugged. It isn't normal for me to have this much moisture in my eyes. I know that corneal nerve regeneration takes years and I'm wondering if I've recovered normal nerve function in that cornea. Another possible factor is Align probiotics. I take them for an intestinal issue and may inadvertantly be getting help for my eyes.
