- Left untreated, blocked tear ducts can cause chronic tearing, discharge, and infection. Tear duct surgery (also called DCR) creates a new pathway for tears to drain from your eye for better eye health.

I am having this done on the 24th Jan 24 both eyes have blocked tear ducts. Pray for me yall.😢😢
How did your procedure go?
How did it go? I have been recommended the surgery,
Omg it's been a battle for almost 3 months. I'm in Trail BC and had gone to the hospital 7 times, they kept giving me pink eye medicine. Found out I was born with a blocked tear duct in the same eye. The doctors at the hospital had no idea what it was. Thank you TH-cam ❤️ Specialist on the 8th.I cannot wait till this is fixed
I got the external DCR and it just ruined me. I had eye infection in both eyes, go to eye doctor and he says lets go with DCR surgery and I believe him and do it, so we do the left one first, the right one will be done a few months after the left one, but my right eye and tear duct healed on its own. The left side has constantly given me problems. It is not blocked but it is just a sensitive eye now, I wish I could get the hole they made inside of the nose closed. Sometimes I'm fine and have no symptoms but I just notice at times my left caruncle is sensitive and gives me problems. I also have no real allergies and can breath easily through my nose. I have no problems at all now on my right eye and my surgery was over ten years ago.
How does it feel when u have a blocked tear duct? And how long did it take to heal itself im really concerned my two eyes feels sticky should i go to the doctor or give it days to treat it self
I have been suffering from this since my 20 years of age and now i am 65. I always keep a clean tissue with me. Tearing is more when i walk in windy weather. When i did jal nethi kriya and eye cleaning(nethra sudhi) with eye cups using a herbal water when i visited in Jindal Nature Cure Institute, India, for 15 days my tears stopped for about six months and then again came back.
I've had this surgery and I can tell you that it's no picnic, you have a black swollen eye for a few months, stitches inside and outside your nose (but a plastic surgeon does them so the scar fades quickly), a tiny tube inside the tear duct for around four months, you have to use ointment a couple of times a day, and you've not allowed to blow your nose........is it worth it? Absolutely! The misery of tears constantly running down your face is a nightmare, and a few months of inconvenience is well worth it (buy some sunglasses!). I highly recommend that if you have this problem, get the surgery...it will change your life!
Hi Elizabeth, do you have problems now? I have to do the surgery in 2 weeks.
@@emilia28100 hi it has been 2 weeks did you get the surgery done? How was it? I have the same issue but my doctor hasn't said anything about surgery i am so scare he ask me for that.
@@emilia28100 Hello,how is it your surgery?Thank you.
I’ve been suffering from this for about 10 years now, it comes and goes but specially around fall/winter, it just looks like I’m crying all the time. No irritation or discharge just tears everywhere. Pretty annoying! Idk how much does the surgery cost? $
There you are complications overweight the benefits! Too risky! Thanks for explaining!
My son has problem like this too now he has 2 years old I really difficult to believe many doctor in my country to surgery that, So mean that I have another choice for make it better then surgery ?
Can under eye swelling, like a fluid bag occur with a blocked tear duct? I have a fluid bags that comes and goes, under one eye, along with intermittent eye infections in same.
I have had the stent since 2011, it's been a little over 10 years. The doctor decided to leave it in because the first surgery I had the stent was removed and my eye kept tearing. Now it's bothering me and it keeps itching and tearing, any possibilities that I won't have any tears if it's removed after 10 years?
I was told to go home and watch sad stuff and massage my eyes
I liked this video as i have this problem. So my doctor adviced to this surgery. Thank you.
How are you feeling now???
Dr. you explained that so well. Thank you!
My problem is I can’t find an ophthalmologist that does the external surgery for a blocked tear duct.
I live in the Fort Worth area in Texas if anyone knows of an eye doctor, please let me know. I think I have called every ophthalmologist online…to no avail.
I have a cataract in the eye that has the blocked tear duct. The doctor won’t do my cataract surgery until I get the blocked tear duct fixed. He says it won’t heal properly so…..
Please help!!!
Thank you

The surgeon who will do my DCR surgery is a facial plastic surgeon, not an ophthalmologist. I hope you were successful in finding a surgeon to do your surgery.
I went to my doctor and she was lazy and just said to use a warm wet cloth and i went back 2 months they gave me eye drops coz that did nothing and then i went back last week and they said just give it time
Any updates? My said I need to wait two weeks and I just was given steroid eye drops
@@BossLady_Lia any updates?
Thank you 😊 to advancement in surgeries. I have to get this surgery. 😊 Thank you for education us.
I work for an ophthalmologist at the moment. Lol The warm wash cloth is actually very magical. If you stay consistent you might be surprised. We do a lot of temp plugs and a lot of patients come back for permanent ones. I’m hoping your doctor isn’t “lazy” considering it took 14-15 years of school to be able to practice… it never hurts to get a second opinion. It just hurts your wallet. 😂 2 years later. Hope you’re all better ❤
Excellent video! 👍
Nice sir...
I am 35 yrs old I am suffering with blocked tear duct since 1 year.
What is the successes rate of DCR ? Doctor suggested to me DCR operation.Can I go to this operation.plz tell me
Can you wait a few more years???
I am going in for this surgery, at the moment in agony eye watering treats down my face and a. huge lump near my nose and corner of my eye, the lump as been squeezed all gung came out, will this lump go away after surgery?
I’m getting it done tomorrow!
Me too
How did it go? I have a pre operation assessment on the 1st of Feb which they'll tell me my surgery date. I'm feeling nervous lol
@@stevegoggin6708 It went well. You really have to follow the rules post operation! Do that and you will be ok. Be patient. It takes a while to see the success of the procedure. I am still not completely normal yet…and it’s been over a month since I had the procedure. Just throwing that out there; however; my tears are draining waaay better than they used to…hope that helps
@Josh Kohl I'm in the UK but I don't think the operation is any different to the US. I was told if I sneezed the temporary tube could pop out and push it back in, has that happened to you? Also to sneeze with my eye open I think. Have you had any issues after sneezing since the op?
@@stevegoggin6708 I was told to sneeze with my mouth WIDE open…and so I did…it’s very loud! Ha ha ha
how do I get your contacts? I have that problem
I have had my tear ducts shut for a very long time how would I go about getting this done I mean I have been trying to tell my parents about this surgery ever since I was in the first grade the reason I have blocked tear ducts is because I have cancer and had radiation and chemotherapy so they are completely shut I haven't been able 2 cry or anything for a very long time also is there a surgery to fix or reattach any muscles from the eye to the brain whenever I had radiation and chemotherapy it called those muscles to become weak and loose how would I go about that
look for an oculoplastic surgeon. Simple procedure with great results
@lilvato9855 have you done anything yet to help your blocked tear ducts? My husband also has chemo and radiation and his tear ducts is blocked as well… they recommend this surgery to him but he doesn’t want to get it.
