The wrong power of IOL is not at all likely. Nor is damage to the tear ducts at all common in cataract/IOL surgery. This is a classic situation where a second opinion is in order. Either ask your surgeon to refer you to a trusted Eye MD or find one yourself.

After reading your link, I found that by massaging the gland that produces tears in the upper eye lid that I now have tears and the plugs in the lower lids keep the tears from draining down my nose and throat. I hope this will help sombody else out there!!
Thank You, Snowwhitesmommma
Glad you're doing better
