Tear Duct Obstruction

In the normal eye, tears are formed in the lacrimal gland. The tears lubricate, protect and "wash" the eye before being drained away. If the tear drainage systems are blocked, tears overflow and the tear sac becomes susceptible to infection (Dacryocystitis) , which may spread to the surrounding ocular tissues and the eyeball itself.

Fortunately, this condition is treatable. Blocked tear drainage systems can be opened and a bypass system can be created. Tear duct surgery is performed by a trained Oculoplastic and Lacrimal surgeon through a small incision in the corner of the eye, or with endoscopic surgery (with a tiny microscope) through the nose. This latter approach is advantageous because it avoids an external skin incision (thus there is no scar), involves less bleeding, and allows faster recovery and return to normal activities.
