Colleen - My dad had that problem (blocked tearduct) for years. Used to have to continually wipe his eye. He finally had surgery to repair it, and hasn't had the problem since. I don't know anything about the surgery, but could ask him if no one has better info. Margie Swindler << got a question here....my right eye tear duct is blocked so any tears I make overflow and do not go down the tear duct. Any idea on how to fix this?? the dr said surgery would fix it...yeah right...ewwww... I just have to keep a kleenax handy all the time to wipe my eye...not a bad problem :) >>
