Tear Duct Repair

Tear duct repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing blockages or abnormalities in the tear ducts, which are responsible for draining tears from the eyes into the nasal cavity. When these ducts are blocked, it can lead to excessive tearing, dryness, or even infections. The surgery may involve opening, widening, or creating a new pathway for tears to flow properly. This procedure can significantly improve comfort and eye health, often restoring normal tear drainage and relieving symptoms of tearing or dryness. Recovery typically allows for a return to daily activities in a short period.
