WHAT ARE BLOCKED TEAR DUCTS:

When you have a blocked tear duct, your tears can't drain normally, leaving you with a watery, irritated eye. The condition is caused by a partial or complete obstruction in the tear drainage system.If your child’s eyes are sticky or if there is a lump below his or her eye, treatment is usually recommended to avoid the eye from becoming infected. If the symptoms are particularly severe and the watering eyes are interfering with your child’s vision for reading, writing, and sports, treatment will be required.

HOW TO TREAT BLOCKED TEAR DUCT :

The surgery that's commonly used to treat blocked tear ducts is called dacryocystorhinostomy. This procedure opens the passageway for tears to drain out your nose again. You'll be given a general anesthetic, or a local anesthetic if it's performed as an outpatient procedure.

The steps in this procedure vary, depending on the exact location and extent of your blockage, as well as your surgeon's experience and preferences.

⦁ External- With external dacryocystorhinostomy, your surgeon makes an incision on the side of your nose, close to the lacrimal sac. After connecting the lacrimal sac to your nasal cavity and placing a stent in the new passageway, the surgeon closes up the skin incision with a few stitches.

⦁ Endoscopic or endonasal- With this method, your surgeon uses a microscopic camera and other tiny instruments inserted through the nasal opening to your duct system. This method requires no incision so leaves no scar. But the success rates aren't as high as with the external procedure.

HOW DOES A BLOCKED TEAR DUCT :

Long-standing infection or inflammation of your eyes, tear drainage system or nose can cause your tear ducts to become blocked. Injury or trauma. An injury to your face can cause bone damage or scarring near the drainage system, affecting the typical flow of tears through the duct.

SYMPTOMS OF BLOCKED TEAR DUCT:

⦁ Excessive tearing.

⦁ Redness of the white part of the eye.
