Jones tube coming out

I had a Jones tube that lasted for almost 10 years.  I was thrilled with this tube.  Unfortunately, it came out.  I recently had the surgery to have the tube replaced.  Immediately after my post op visit, the tube began to move again.  It is protruding from the corner of my eye quite far.  I can push it back down, and seconds later it pops back up again.  What can be done for this problem?  I am already close to $1,000 in copays for this procedure and am very disappointed with the results.  What do you suggest?  Thank you.

You need to see Nicholas Iliff, M.D. at Wilmer Eye Institute--there is no better oculoplastic surgeon (and no one more humane, frankly), globally.

You need to see your oculoplastic surgeon. The post operative visit are included and may last for 90 days.  Any repeat procedure is more challenging than the first.
