Can laser surgery for pediatric lacrimal duct blockage be unblocked?

Patient's question:

Having eye discharge

Doctor's answer:

Dacryostenosis is a common and frequently occurring ophthalmic disease. If not treated thoroughly, it poses the risk of latent intraocular or extraocular infections. The principle of its treatment is to control the inflammation of the lacrimal sac and restore or establish a drainage channel from the lacrimal passage to the nasal cavity. Due to the diverse factors that can cause lacrimal duct obstruction in children, the cause must be identified before treatment to ensure targeted therapy for effective results. Additionally, nursing measures in daily life are essential. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
