Excessive Tearing 3 Months Post-op Eyelid Surgery, How Can I Make it Stop?

User Avatar

3 months after surgery,I started experiencing excessive tearning in both eyes.My surgeon was an Opthamologist.I have been seeing another opthamoligist about this problem.He has flushed my tear ducts 2 times with saline, prescribed dexamethasone-pf drops, plus a slew of other drops. After flushing, my eyes are 90% for 1 or 2 days, then they start the excessive tearing/redness again. Could this surgery have caused this? It did not appear for 3 months post op. What can I do to make this stop?
