docs tested cauterized tear duct but eye still unbearably dry?

[valene2009]

should i go see yet another corneal specialist..?? mine simply looked through his slit lamp and said the puncta was shut and that the cautery had worked. i went to a local opthamologist who put die n my eye and said it appeared the puncta was shut.  Should I see another corneal specialist and see if they can perform any other tests for my puncta? 

Or is it possible that my sjogrens has gotten so bad in one eye and better in the other?  can it move around like that?

Hi Val,
Not sure but please continue to see a doctor until you find some relief! That is the main issue. If it doesn't feel better, you need some help. I think taking some questions with you may help, or talk to a doctor you have a good relationship with...
