Clogged Tear Duct and Eyesight?

My 3 1/2 month old has a clogged tear duct. Some days are good, some are bad. My question is about vision...





My older daughter also had this and has pretty bad eyesight in the eye that was affected (20/90). I'm worried that it was caused by the clogged tear duct. I'm worried that my youngest will also have vision problems because of the clogged tear duct. Anyone else have a child with a clogged tear duct who ended up having poor vision in the affected eye?





And I don't believe the 6 in 100 babies have it. I'm 2 for 3!

Clogged Tear Duct and Eyesight?
My son had a clogged duct until he was about 5 months old and it cleared up on its own. So far he isn't showing any signs of vision problems.
Reply:My daughter had clogged tear ducts when she was an infant but she has no problem seeing at all.
Reply:My first baby had one clogged tear duct. The Dr. prescribed drops for him. It has been a long time ago, so I do not remember how long we used the drops, but they did work.





He grew up without any eye problems at all. He went all the way though school no problems.





My second baby was OK.
Reply:My one son had a clogged tear duct, but with medical care, it healed and he is fine....is your daughter's a recurring one? What have you used to heal it? Which prescription? Good luck!
Reply:My MIL was just telling me the other day that she had problems with clogged tear ducts with both my husband and his brother. Neither of them had vision problems when they were young. I think my husband didn't start wearing glasses until after college, don't know about my BIL.
Reply:Nope Hailey had one and she can see just fine...
