I had a DCR yesterday, which drills a new channel from the tear duct into the nose to make up for the faulty one that already exists.
It was not as unpleasant as it should have been, although the stitches and swelling mean I can't wear my glasses for more than a couple of minutes and without my glasses I am as a bat. Without the sonar.
The stitches come out next week. And if it all works okay (a 70% chance of success) I will get the other eye done.
Here are the photos - pre-op, post-op and de-bandaged:
