Are driving me crazy atm  basically my right eye has been watering non stop for over 48 hours now... I've been to the eye doctor who got some 'foreign bodies' out, and it seemed to be all good. But then an hour later it all came back again. I went back to tell her it hadn't worked, and she gave me some chloramphenicol ointment to use, which is basically this cream you put on your lower lip. What it seems to do is build a layer so the tears stop flowing over, but then it all builds up on my eye and I'm basically almost blind in my right eye now.
It's so frustrating! She said if it doesn't go away by itself in 2 weeks time they will have to do invasive investigation into whether my tear ducts are blocked or damaged  kinda scared of that because my gran had a similar operation once and they mucked it up and she was left with a watering eye for the last 20-30 years of her life... anyone ever had anything like this!? Wondering how it was resolved if so.

Not sure on first half, sounds horrible though 
My rear ducts were blocked when I was born, was sorted and never had issues

Might run in the family if your Nan had it.

I would think that there has been a decent advancement in surgery since your nan had her op. you'll be reet!
