What Causes Blurred And Sticky Eye While Suffering From Sinusitis?

Hi, I have chronic sinusitis and every once in a while my left eye gets very blurred and gooey. I can t wear my contacts for very long at all because they get to dirty. After my surgery will this go away? Or is something else causing my gooey eye? I for the idea from my baby...when she gets a stuffy nose ber boogers come out her eyes and I was wondering if my eye was doing the same thing and irritating my contact.

The two, may or may not be linked. You need a thorough evaluation from an ophthalmologist, because it is only one eye that is worse affected.

Usually it is not recommended to use contacts in patients with chronic sinusitis because it causes a blockade in drainage system of the eye, which adds up to the difficulties of the stuffy nose and irritating sinuses.

Yes after sinuolasty it may be better with eyes too.
