Asked By:Alan2248 in Etobicoke, ON

Hello, recently I had my tear ducts done in both eyes down first ... still tearing than December I had upper lid tear ducts done both eyes... yet I am still crying sometimes up to 10 hours/day, it is horrible, frustrating and embarrassing... Drs can anyone help me with a solution avoiding another procedure I was told by the surgeon that my tear ducts are not plugged and I believe is true because I can feel the warm tears draining in my throat, yet I am still tearing excessively in the outside.
