What Causes Soreness At The Lower Lacrimal Punctum?
Hi, I m 52 yrs old, 5 6 and weigh 135 lbs. and for about 3 days I ve had soreness at the lower lacrimal punctum; I thought a stye was coming up but nothing pustual has appeared. Now there is an inflammation under the duct when I pull down my lower lid; also, my skin is a little swollen under the left eye running from the tear duct down across my cheek bone. I had a hard time 2 nights ago removing the left contact lens so I haven t worn them in 2 days. Any suggestions? Thanks
