Greetings all- Its been several years since I have been here because my dry eyes improved after a long journey and interventions. I had LASEK in 2009 and almost immediately developed severe dry eye. Long story but eventually I had my 2 lower punctum cauterized and surface plugs put in uppers. My right upper came out within a few months, HOWEVER my left plug stayed in until 2015 (5years) until I had it removed with difficulty by an ophthalmologist. The reason I saw the Dr. is because my upper punctum was sore, swollen and my eye was watering.
My issue now is, although the plug is gone and I have some relief. My eye is still watering and very sore! The Dr. said that I may have built up scar tissue in the puntum and it may still be plugged, there was also evidence of granuloma. SO, does anyone have experience with this, any guidance, expereinces are appreciated! Thanks !
