WHAT EYE SIGNS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THESE SIGNS IN THE EYES!
A tear duct obstruction that can be seen in many people, from babies to middle-aged women, can cause the eye canals to fill with germs if left untreated, leading to much bigger problems. The tears flowing out of the eye through the small channels located above the eye prevent the cornea from drying out, allow the eye to clean itself when it encounters unwanted substances, prevent the eye from being constantly burped and watery. Tear duct obstruction is an extremely important complaint that needs to be treated in this sense.
Turkey Medicals hospital member and Ophthalmologist Eye Operator Doctor gave information about the subject.
In the past, tear duct obstruction, under general anesthesia, the breakage of the bones of the person’s nose and the tears flow for a new channel have been created with today’s developing medical technology is no longer a risky but without intervention, people are much more the same day you can easily return to everyday life applications where the laser is applied.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TEAR DUCT OBSTRUCTION ?
The following symptoms are observed when the ducts that are located between the eye and nose, which have a delicate balance that ensures decontamination of tears, have problems with clogging
– Increased watering of the eye.
– Frequent repeated inflammation of the eye, a state of infection.
– Severe burring of the eye.
– The problem of constant discharge from the eye.

DIAGNOSIS OF TEAR DUCT OBSTRUCTION
In people who come to the Hospital eye clinic department complaining of watery eyes, excessive burring, redness of the eyes, asymmetric conditions between the two eyes, a procedure called decanting is performed.
Lavage;
It is the process of delivering fluid to the eyes with the help of a cannula, which is a small tube that can be inserted into the body. During the lavage process, it is observed whether the liquid is progressing, and if the liquid is not coming to the person’s throat, that is, it is not progressing, the tear ducts are blocked. After this diagnosis, the treatment process is started.

TREATMENT OF TEAR DUCT OBSTRUCTION
Surgical techniques performed in more serious cases in the past and today have led to the search for more practical solutions due to the fact that a person suffers from bleeding problems and the length of the recovery period.
Firstly, the procedure in which the skin is opened, the tear sac is found and the blockage is resolved is called DSR operations. As a type of this procedure, in the processes that we call Endoscopic Dsr, there are operations in which the bone and sac are opened through the nose and no suture is required.
Multiode DSR Procedures, in which both DSR and endoscopic DSR are integrated, developed for the comfort of a person, are one of the most preferred forms of treatment in terms of laser-assisted, bleeding-free and incision-free operations that can be performed in a much shorter time compared to risk-free and other operations as the most advanced application.
.
LASER TREATMENT OF LACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION
Due to its advantages such as bleeding, anesthesia, and not being left behind from everyday life, there are methods that are conveniently applied with the MultiodeDsr technique in tear duct obstruction, where non-surgical solutions are being developed every day.
Laser beams, which we call punctum, penetrate through the tiny holes at the edges of our eyes, pass through the tear sac and open the blockage in the duct with the help of the rays.
In particular, the Dsr technique applied in cases where the tear duct is not blocked can be performed in a total of as little as 8-10 minutes. In the process of making very small incisions with a laser, it is the process of opening blocked areas with laser shots. In these applications, a person can leave the hospital on the same day and return to their daily lives.
