Lacrimal Surgery

Lacrimal surgery involves procedures related to the tear drainage system of the eye. It is performed when tears do not drain properly, leading to excessive tearing or dryness. This type of surgery can correct issues such as blocked tear ducts or congenital abnormalities. Surgeons may create new drainage pathways or open blocked passages to restore normal tear flow. This helps improve comfort, prevent infections, and enhance overall eye health. Lacrimal surgery is typically done by specialized ophthalmic plastic surgeons, who blend expertise in eye care with plastic surgery techniques.
