Lacrimal Sac Surgeries to Restore Natural Tear Flow
The lacrimal sac is part of the tear drainage system that helps move tears from the eyes into the nose. When this drainage pathway becomes blocked, tears cannot drain properly, leading to excessive watering, recurrent infections, swelling near the inner corner of the eye, and discomfort.
Lacrimal sac surgery is performed to restore normal tear drainage and relieve symptoms caused by tear duct obstruction. Treatment can help reduce excessive tearing, prevent repeated infections, and improve overall eye comfort. The most appropriate treatment depends on the cause and severity of the blockage.
Common Symptoms of Lacrimal Sac Disorders
Diagnosis begins with a comprehensive eye examination to assess tear drainage function and identify any blockage, infection, or inflammation within the tear drainage system.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the condition. The following treatment options may be recommended:
Medical Treatment
Mild infections or inflammation may be treated with warm compresses and prescribed medications to reduce swelling, control infection, and relieve discomfort.
Tear Duct Procedures
For partial or persistent tear duct blockage, procedures such as probing, irrigation, or balloon dilation may help improve tear drainage and restore tear flow.
Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) Surgery
When tear duct blockage is severe, recurrent, or does not respond to other treatments, DCR surgery may be recommended. This procedure creates a new drainage pathway between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity, allowing tears to drain normally. Depending on the individual case, the procedure may be performed using an endoscopic or external approach.
Some mild cases may improve without surgery, but persistent blockages often require medical evaluation and treatment.
The procedure is typically performed with anesthesia, and most patients experience only mild discomfort during recovery.
If watering, swelling, discharge, or repeated infections continue for an extended period, an eye examination is recommended.
