I've had servere dry eyes and a stye in my eye (duct) for 15yrs, and not one doctor or eye doctor has mentioned the option of opening my tear ducts or removing the stye.

Thanx for replying. I was replying to a comment about dry eyes and duct opening, but somehow, my reply ended up here. should I have been recommended something for this, like plugs? they just brush it off, but it's so very horrible.

Opening the duct will make the dry eyes worse if the tear drainage duct is really plug.  We use punctal plug to plug the drainage duct to keep tears on the eye surface.
