Blocked Tear Duct (NLDO) Evaluation & Treatment Package

Persistent watery eyes can sometimes be caused by a blocked tear drainage system.
A blocked tear duct, medically known as nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO), prevents tears from draining normally.
This may lead to excessive tearing, eye discharge, irritation, redness, or repeated eye infections.
The Blocked Tear Duct (NLDO) Evaluation & Treatment Package provides a structured assessment of tear drainage problems.
Evaluation begins with a detailed review of symptoms and relevant eye history.
An ophthalmologist may examine the eyelids, tear openings, and surrounding eye structures.
Tear drainage testing may be recommended when clinically appropriate.
The assessment helps determine whether the blockage is partial or complete.
It can also help identify other causes of excessive tearing.
Treatment depends on the patient's age, symptoms, and location of the blockage.
Mild cases may be managed with appropriate eye care and observation.
Some patients may require procedures to improve tear drainage.
Treatment options can include tear duct probing, irrigation, or other specialist-recommended procedures.
Adults with persistent obstruction may need additional evaluation before treatment.
Children with congenital NLDO may have different treatment considerations.
Early evaluation can help address persistent watering and discharge.
Patients receive guidance based on their individual clinical findings.
The ophthalmology team explains the recommended treatment and expected recovery.
Patients can also discuss questions about procedures, follow-up, and ongoing eye care.
Treatment decisions are made after a proper clinical examination.
The package is intended for patients experiencing symptoms suggestive of tear drainage obstruction.
It may be useful for both initial evaluation and treatment planning.
Follow-up recommendations depend on the diagnosis and treatment performed.
Seek professional assessment if watering, discharge, or recurrent eye irritation persists.
Timely evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and appropriate management.
This package focuses on personalized assessment and evidence-based eye care.
