Can laser surgery unblock pediatric lacrimal duct obstruction?

Patient's question:

Having eye discharge

Doctor's answer:

Dacryostenosis is a common and frequently occurring ophthalmic disease. If not treated thoroughly, there is a 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 pathway from the lacrimal passage and lacrimal sac to the nasal cavity.
