I had septorinoplasty FESS and polyp removal in July 2017. A week later I started forcefully blinking, have painful red eyes.

My eyes are always infected. I can’t use drops bcz my eyes are very sensitive. Above my nose inbetween my eyebrows it feels tight, and pulls. When I breath inwards through my nose my right eye exceeds water. could I have damage to my nasolacrimal duct could it have moved? or have nerve or muscle or tissue damage/inflammation? If so how long will it be before I recover, is there anything that can be done? My ENT surgeon has discharged me.
