AUTHOR: gladyss
Hi there.

My daughter had one blocked tear duct as well. We would massage it EVERY day several times, we would wipe it out, etc., etc. I would just feel so bad for her, especially in the morning. Sometimes it would be glued shut. (It didn't seem to bother her though)!! I don't even think those drops helped at all?!
Anyway, one day after her 6 month checkup, it was COMPLETELY GONE!!!! My husband came home and asked me if I had cleaner her eye out, and I said no. Then a few hours later, same thing. This happened for several days. I am so happy it is cleared up.

I know this sounds corny, but I used to pray to St. Lucy every Wednesday and pray for her eye to get better. I also squirted her in the eye with breastmilk (hey, someone offered that suggestion, and I was up to anything!!!!)

Anyway, I hope it unblocks VERY SOON. Say a prayer, it won't hurt!!!

Take care.

Michelle
