hi, everyone.
i have had 4 smart plugs inserted into my tear ducts. after that, my right eye got less dryness, but then it started to have full feeling n sometimes it caused headache.
at first i thought this was because there is no tear duct to drain my tears, so doctor irrigated the upper tear duct (right eye), but i feel a lot worse since sever dryness came back, and in good days when i my right eye was wet, i still had this full feeling.
my doctor insists that this is due to cornea exposure since i got lid problems(lateral bilateral lower lid ectropion and marked epicanthic folds.lagophthalmos). but the thing is when my right eye feels quite dry, i wouldn't have this full feeling. it only started to be aching when it is not dry.
doctor put a normal plug back into my upper tear duct(right eye) since getting plug out is proved to be not helpful.
currenty its like i have to choose from 2 discomforts, either dryness or full feeling. obviouly dryness is a lot worse, but can't i just find a way to get rid of both of them?
