Hi Dr Damien,
What do mean "could not help but notice I had a fracture previously"? I have never had a fracture. I did have lasik eye surgery done June 2005 and then again that fall.
There is no one in my family that I know of with this problem. I don't believe I have ever had any sinus issues, even when I noticed the change in my eyes.
I did have an eye infection winter of 2006/07. My optomitist gave me some drops which I ended up getting worse. He told me I had an allergic reaction to the drops and gave me another presciption which cleared up the infection. The only problem I seem to be having with my eyes is they both seem to feel gummy a lot of the time, my vision doesn't seem to be as clear as it should be. My optomitist said that he figured a duct in my eyes was not working well (I cannot remember which duct he named) he suggested I take Omega III to help. I have not seen any improvement. I have a picture that was taken when I had the infection, would it help if you saw it?
I asked my family physician to refer me to a sinus specialist (I wanted a second opinion - other than the eye surgeon who wanted me to reshape the eyelid of the left eye) which I saw last month he has referred me to see DR. Brad Mechor MD FRCSC Rhinology Enoscopic Skull Base Surgery (Otolaryngology) at the Calgary Sinus Centre in Calgary, Alberta mid December. Dr. Mechor has a copy of my CAT scan taken in June as well has set up an appointment the same day I see him for another CAT scan.
Have I done all I can to seek help, or is there anything else I should be checking out?
Thank you,
Bev
