I've taken dd to the opthamologist this morning after 18 months of constant eye infections.
The Dr said it could possibly be a blocked tear duct which is what I was told when dd was first born (I was also told it should clear before she was 1!) He said the only sure way to know is if they operate to check and if it is to clear it but he didn't want to rush in to it as like all operations it carries risks.
So now we've to carry on with no doubt plenty more eye infections.
I agree with Dr as regards to the operating, I don't like the idea of that but what else can we do, it seems mad.
Has anyone elses children had blocked tear ducts and if so how long did it take for them to clear?
