I just saw an opthamalogist for the same thing. He did say I could have glass stints put in, that they are high maintenance. He would do it if I was desparate. He also said the damage was permanent. Taxotere is also excreted in the tears causing scarring in the ducts. Had I been assessed earlier, I could have had silicone stints put in to manage the problem and prevent further damage. Unfortuneately, it's part of the package. Sometimes it is difficult to read too. My tears are sticky too and that makes dirt adhere to my face too. I find just rinsing my face with water helps that. I wish there was a better solution. My nose seems to run more also, which does not make sense since the ducts are narrowed, you would think the nose would run less. However, I currently don't have any nose hair either. Ah, the joys of surviving! Hang in there.
