My little girl has a blocked tear duct, also. Her doctor kept telling me that it should clear up by the time she turns 1. Her last doctor's appointment I asked him what I could do to get rid of it, cuz "massaging" a busy baby's eye a bunch of times a day is easier said than done. He told me that I could have a simple surgery done where they go in and open it up, but he said that if it was his daughter, he'd let it clear up on it's own. Well, she's almost 13 months now and its still there. I just hate going out and and people keep asking me what is wrong with her eye...and it looks like I don't ever clean it out but I do, and as soon as I turn around its back again! It makes her eye water all the time, too. Next month i'm taking her in to get more info about the surgery to correct it.
