and what about toxic tears? The minimal tears we produce are not draining into the nose and washing the ocular surface (like car windscreen wipers as we blink). So the same tears are on the eyeball due to blocked puncta's creating possible inflammation?... this is possible for both silicone and cautery.[/QUOTE]
Hi dcrdryeye,
Very valid point you've got there!
Unfortunately i can't answer to that question,because i just lack the knowledge.
Maybe someone here can shed a light on this?
I guess the thing we're all after is to retain as much moisture on the eye surface as we possibly can,but hey what if these tears have the wrong composition and just make things worse?
Maybe for starters the best thing to do is to get as much moisture on the eye as we can (by either plugging or cauterize) and if that is accomplished we have to add some sort of anti inflammatory treatment to the regimen.
