  • Left untreated, blocked tear ducts can cause chronic tearing, discharge, and infection. Tear duct surgery (also called DCR) creates a new pathway for tears to drain from your eye for better eye health.

    Omg it's been a battle for almost 3 months. I'm in Trail BC and had gone to the hospital 7 times, they kept giving me pink eye medicine. Found out I was born with a blocked tear duct in the same eye. The doctors at the hospital had no idea what it was. Thank you CZcams ❤️ Specialist on the 8th.I cannot wait till this is fixed

    I got the external DCR and it just ruined me. I had eye infection in both eyes, go to eye doctor and he says lets go with DCR surgery and I believe him and do it, so we do the left one first, the right one will be done a few months after the left one, but my right eye and tear duct healed on its own. The left side has constantly given me problems. It is not blocked but it is just a sensitive eye now, I wish I could get the hole they made inside of the nose closed. Sometimes I'm fine and have no symptoms but I just notice at times my left caruncle is sensitive and gives me problems. I also have no real allergies and can breath easily through my nose. I have no problems at all now on my right eye and my surgery was over ten years ago.

    I have been suffering from this since my 20 years of age and now i am 65. I always keep a clean tissue with me. Tearing is more when i walk in windy weather. When i did jal nethi kriya and eye cleaning(nethra sudhi) with eye cups using a herbal water when i visited in Jindal Nature Cure Institute, India, for 15 days my tears stopped for about six months and then again came back.

    I've had this surgery and I can tell you that it's no picnic, you have a black swollen eye for a few months, stitches inside and outside your nose (but a plastic surgeon does them so the scar fades quickly), a tiny tube inside the tear duct for around four months, you have to use ointment a couple of times a day, and you've not allowed to blow your nose........is it worth it? Absolutely! The misery of tears constantly running down your face is a nightmare, and a few months of inconvenience is well worth it (buy some sunglasses!). I highly recommend that if you have this problem, get the surgery...it will change your life!

    Dr. you explained that so well. Thank you!
    My problem is I can’t find an ophthalmologist that does the external surgery for a blocked tear duct.
    I live in the Fort Worth area in Texas if anyone knows of an eye doctor, please let me know. I think I have called every ophthalmologist online…to no avail.
    I have a cataract in the eye that has the blocked tear duct. The doctor won’t do my cataract surgery until I get the blocked tear duct fixed. He says it won’t heal properly so…..
    Please help!!!
    Thank you

      I work for an ophthalmologist at the moment. Lol The warm wash cloth is actually very magical. If you stay consistent you might be surprised. We do a lot of temp plugs and a lot of patients come back for permanent ones. I’m hoping your doctor isn’t “lazy” considering it took 14-15 years of school to be able to practice… it never hurts to get a second opinion. It just hurts your wallet. 😂 2 years later. Hope you’re all better ❤

    I have had the stent since 2011, it's been a little over 10 years. The doctor decided to leave it in because the first surgery I had the stent was removed and my eye kept tearing. Now it's bothering me and it keeps itching and tearing, any possibilities that I won't have any tears if it's removed after 10 years?
