Sinusitis FAQ

eyes affected by mucous

Question:

I have suffered from sinusitis for several years now.  More recently it has affected my eyes.  I have  mucous coming out of my tears ducts.  Sometimes it has blood in it, particularly first thing in the mornings. I have had several operations on my tear sacs as well as nasal operations to remove polyps and ethmoid bone. After the last operation life was wonderful for 3 months but now it is all back to square one.  I am due to see the ophthalmic consultant in Harley St (London UK) in about 3 weeks but I know he will talk about yet another operation this time I believe to remove the lachrymal sac and put in a glass tube.  Everytime I have an operation the problem seems to get worse so I am reluctant to have more.  I have also been having dizzy spells, so presume the mucous is effecting my Eustachian tubes.  I have had a blood test for Webers and thankfully this was negative.  Has anyone else had similar problems or had a glass tube inserted?  What else can I do if I don
