Lacrimal System Surgery

Lacrimal system surgery involves procedures to fix issues with the tear drainage system of the eye. This system includes glands that produce tears and ducts that carry tears away. Problems can lead to excessive tearing, blocked ducts, or inflammation. The surgery may involve opening a blocked duct, creating a new drainage pathway, or removing problematic tissue. The goal is to restore normal tear flow to improve comfort and eye health, enhancing vision and quality of life for those affected. This type of surgery is typically performed by an ophthalmologist or a specialist in eye care.
