Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (NLDO) Surgery
Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (NLDO) surgery is performed to treat blocked tear ducts, which can cause excessive tearing, eye infections, and discomfort. This condition is common in infants (congenital NLDO) and adults (acquired NLDO) due to aging, trauma, or infections. If untreated, NLDO can lead to chronic eye irritation and recurrent infections.
At Desai Eye Hospital, we offer minimally invasive and surgical treatments to restore normal tear drainage, ensuring clearer vision and improved eye health.
How Does It Work?
- Performed to open a blocked tear drainage system.
- A small incision is made near the nasal area or through the nose.
- The blocked nasolacrimal duct is cleared or bypassed.
- A silicone stent may be placed to keep the passage open.
- In infants, a simple probing procedure is often sufficient.
- Adults may require DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy) surgery for long-term relief.
- Post-surgery, tear flow normalizes, reducing infections and discomfort.
- Ensures better eye comfort and prevents excessive watering.
