constant irritation and discomfort in one eye after restor

ever since I had restor lenses put in in 2007 I have had nothing but problems with one of my eyes. I always feel like something is the eye,the eye runs clear fluid and sometimes feels stickie. Pain sharp shooting at four o'clock. I have been to several eye dr.'s with no explaination. I am about ready to poke out my eye from the scratching pain. My other eye does not have this problem. Dr's have said the implant is looking good so what is it and how do I get rid of it?Last dr. said I have stigmatism and 'lasix' can fix it so I can drive at night. Can lasix be done on an implanted restor lense? There has to be an answer to why I have almost constant feeling of scratching and discomfort. I am in Houston,Texas area and would appreciate the name of a doctor here. This is just beyond stupid. I can't wear eye makeup because with the flow of liquid I then rub my eye and the makeup is removed. Would it help if I patched my eye for several days with some sort of medicene in it that I could get over the counter?

Some ideas, try oral flax and fish oil supplements, punctal plugs, refresh celluvisc drops, and maybe a mild steroid drop like Alrex or lotemax for a trial.  Also avoid fans and computer work, consider wearing glasses to reduce airflow over your eyes, make sure your lid margins are in good shape, consider a trial of a bandage contact lens like acuvue oasys.  Fortunately it sounds like your vision is not bothering you too much so that is a good sign.  Hopefully, the irritation will improve over time.
