Hole in corner of eye (fistula) that leaks when I blow nose.
As if AMD isn't bad enough, now I have a "fistula" in the corner of my left eye. Normally would not even know it but I have really awful allergy symptoms, allergic to weeds, trees, grass, etc., and short haired dogs, etc. SO, I sneeze a lot and blow my nose often.
Imagine my surprise when I blew my nose one day and the corner of my eye squirted out mucous! That was months ago and it is still happening.
I went to eye doc, he scoped my nose (yikes!) and informed me nothing to worry about, I have a fistula. He explained it and said eventually it would probably go away.
My issue is that I get AMD shots in my eyes every 10 weeks and wonder if there could be issues.
I remember as a teenager, (bazillion years ago) a friend of mine blew smoke out of his eye. Now I finally know how he did it. Not that I smoke because I don't.
Anyone else have this delightful hole in the eye?

I would call the doctor that is supposed to be doing your shot here coming up and ask him if you should have a being you have a leak in your eye. It might heal up on its own, but I would be extra cautious and talk to the doctor before the shot. I wish you the best
@minnesota10 Thank you for your concern. My doctor knows about this already, and when I had a bad cold and bronchitis, he did not give me a shot knowing about my eye issue. He did give me the shot the next week. My take is that as long as I don't have an "infection or cold, etc." then I can have injections. He is the one that told me to see an Endocrinologist which is what I did in addition to ophthalmologist. I have an injections coming up next week so I will be telling him what the ophthalmologist said which was, "it will heal and you can have injections." No idea since I have really bad hayfever right now. I am wondering if anyone has these two issues in the same eye? If it's weird, I have it.
Thank you for the note. Don’t let yourself get down. Keep fighting because you know what is going on. Sometimes it’s the wording change your wording a little bit and maybe they will understand better. I wish you the very best if you can. Keep me posted.
