They're going to knock me out, cut me open near the eye, open the tear duct, drill a hole through the tear sack and the bone beneath and put in a pipe to essentially bypass the canal that brings the tears from the sack - its a bit like a plumber dealing with a blocked pipe by drilling a hole in the water tank and trailing a hose from the hole to the back garden.
I asked about an eyepatch, they said no.
