Anyone know of anyone that has had the surgery or procedure that widens the tear duct so tears can drain normally and the two stitches that tighten the skin/lower eyelid? I am scheduled for Oct 7 and would like to talk to someone that has had these two procedures...

I had a different kind of surgery to help drain tears: I had a pyrex tube put in the inner corner of my eye, it goes down through bone & drains into my sinus.
I'm really glad I had it done. Every 6 months I have to have the tube replaced (just did it the 1st time Monday, no problems, went after work).
When I 'suck in' through my nose the tears go down the tube ! Sometimes it works slower than others, but it works & I'm very happy with it.
Always good thoughts, Nancy
