Hi all am in the uk, the tears seem to sit on my bottom lid and when i blink they fall out, can anything be done, i feel am always cleaning round my eyes as they look wet all the time, they dont seem too be dry as am making tears, thanks in advance x

Hi Anne!  How have you been?  I ended up having a Jones tube inserted into the inner corner of my eye for this problem.  It's a pyrex tube that will drain the tears into your sinus.  When I suck in air through my nose it drains the tears.  It's not 100%, but much better than before & I'm glad I had it done.  The tube has to be replaced every 6 months.  When I get really hot or workout, the tears will run down my face b/c the tube is so small it can't accomodate the amount of tear quickly, but again, I'm glad I have it.
Always good thoughts, Nancy

~Thanks nancy am fine thanks, i was also looking at the external weights for the eye they  dont seem too sell them in the uk , am sure theres a thread on here about them x is the procedure you had done called a plug, there is a few people i know have had this done x

[nancyann]

Hi Anne:  no, the plug keeps the tears available to the eye - more for dry eye; the Jones tube helps drain the tears because we are producing an overabundance of tears.  I have had an eye weight from the get-go.  Had to go from gold to platinum b/c of an allergy to gold - I can wear gold but was allergic once it was under the skin...

My husband had the same problem. His lower lid was very saggy.  It was  built up with cartilage from his ear, and he had a lower lid tuck.  The results were very good and he rarely drips now.
