Dentigerous Cyst and Eye

I have an issue with my left eye. It is a case of
hyphemia. The blunt injury took place in 1984.
Till 2003 I was able to see with that eye but the vision was blurry (cataract). In 2002, one night while having dinner I bit a stone and as a result the wisdom tooth 'bent' towards the cheek area, both the upper and the power
teeth. It was still erupting at that stage.
As time passed I noticed that there would be pain in the upper wisdom tooth
which lasted for 5 seconds or so and it happened once a month or so. No discharge from the tooth or any foul smell. I also noticed that upon smoking the corner of the left eye would irritate
and in the coming months this aggravated to swelling on the outer corner of
the upper eye lid area.
Then one day tears started flowing automatically and the redness futher
increased. The cataract increased too. I had difficulty in keeping my eye open in bright sunlight.
Slowly the vison in the left eye started diminishing.
I was asked undergo laser treatment for pressure reduction in the left
eye. They punctured the left eye (180 Degrees) with laser. This didn't
provide any relief instead it aggravated to pain in the eye, continuos tears
and redness. A week or so after the laser treatment I went to a dentist on a hunch.
They looked at the wisdom tooth and suggested an X-Ray. The X-Ray revealed
a cyst in the entire cheek area (maxilliary region). I was referred to an ENT
surgeon. He operated (Nasal Endoscopy) upon the cyst. The inner cheek area
was opened and cleared of the cyst. The tear flow after the operation was
now in intervals and after 4 days or so it stopped completely. The redness reduced and I was to able to open my eyes in bright sunlight. Also when I
applied eye drops I started to sense the smell and taste of the medicine
once again. The vision in the eye did not improve and I could only see the source of the light intermittently. Now even the direction of the source of the light is affected. After the operation I had both the upper and lower wisdom tooth removed (extracted no surgery performed).
After the cyst operation I noticed that after having food there would be
irritation in the corner of the eye and some redness in the eye. The doctor
who operated upon the cyst gave me medication. It woukld feel alright
for a while. Also after brushing teeth the redness would subside. On weekends
when I smoked a cigarette, the next day there would be increased redness and swelling of the eye which would automatically subside. But if a antibiotic tablet was taken the redness would come down very quickly and the irritation would stop.
I have altogether given up smoking but still drink on weekends. The next morning there would be redness and a little swelling. Irritation may or may not be there. The discomfort will not be as bad had I smoked.
Another observation after the operation that I made was that if I applied
body spray after a bath it too would lead to eye irritation and redness
and discomfort.
The cyst operation was carried out in Oct 2002. Now the redness and irritation that I used to experience after having food is gone. But the redness and swelling persists if I drink the previous night. Also if I
now sleep on the left side there will be swelling in the cheek area with
irritation in the eye and redness lating several hours.
Please help me.

Regards
Rajesh
