Lacrimal diseases, such as blocked tear ducts, cause excessive tearing, infections, and discomfort. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure used to restore normal tear drainage by creating a new passage between the tear sac and the nasal cavity. The procedure can be performed externally (with a small incision) or endoscopically (without visible scars). It is commonly recommended for patients with chronic tearing, frequent eye infections, or painful swelling near the inner corner of the eye. DCR surgery is highly successful, with most patients experiencing significant symptom relief. Recovery is typically quick, with minimal discomfort, and patients can resume normal activities within a couple of weeks.
