Hi - please would anyone who understands this problem, be kind enough to advise me. My mother in law who is in her late 70's has suffered from runny eyes for the past few years. Last year she had an operation on her eyes to unblock the tear ducts, but it hasn't made any difference at all. I expect to most people this seems a minor problem but it distresses her terribly. Whenever she goes out in the cold, or wind, the tears just stream down her face <just from one eye> and makes her really unhappy. This morning she went back to the hospital for another eye check and they just told her to go away and come back in 6 months. I get the feeling she is being fobbed off and wonder if anyone knows anything about this condition or have any suggestions as to possible treatment. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this question.
