Lacrimal
“Lacrimal Duct Surgery”, also known as “Dacryocystorhinostomy” (DCR), is a procedure performed to treat blocked tear ducts (nasolacrimal duct obstruction).
This condition can cause excessive tearing (epiphora), recurrent eye infections, and inflammation of the lacrimal sac (dacryocystitis). The surgery creates a new pathway for tears to drain from the eyes into the nose, bypassing the obstruction.
