Eye still dripping after operation

[GeorgeRo]

My 6 year old Nephew received a naso lacrimal duct drainage, an entropion and paranasal sinuses operation a year ago in South America, because one of his eyes was always dripping. He got the same operations when he was one year old. However, his eye continues dripping, sometimes when it is humid or when he gets allergies,  but sometimes out of the blue, which has caused him to have infections.
He'll be coming to the US on vacations next week and i would like to take him to a doctor for a second opinion or examination.  What type of test or doctor should i look for? Could you recommend a doctor in the area?
I live in NJ
Regards,

George

I would find a pediatric ophthalmologist and bring his old medical records.  He seems to have had a complex situation so he may have more that one reason for the tearing (poorly positioned eyelid, nasolacrimal duct blockage, sinus problems.)  Please go to www.aao.org and on the upper right corner click on the find an eyeMD area.  Look under pediatric ophthalmology and put in your city and state.  I looked and there are many choices but I don't know where you live.  Good Luck.

HI. I think you should take him to an ophthalmologist for a complete eye check up. The patency of his naso lacrimal duct needs to be checked primarily. Good Luck !
