EPIPHORA

This is the same patient below with conjunctivochalasis. Fluorescein dye was placed in the eye and it causes the tears to fluoresce when a blue light is shined on it. You can see how the tears are leaking onto the corner of the face. This chronic leaking can cause irritation and inflammation of the skin at the corner. In this case the patient was given some as needed anti-inflammatory drop, called Alrex, when the skin is irritated, and while we are working on a solution to the underlying problem.
