Hello
It seems from the history that you are having chronic watering from eyes because of partial obstruction of the tear ducts and this has not responded to probing.
The definitive treatment is by surgery in the form of dacryocystorhinostomy.
This can be done by ophthalmologist who performs from skin side or from ENT surgeon called as endonasal dacryocystorhinostomty performed through nose.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for definitive treatment.
Thank you
