Lacrimal probing is a procedure in which a thin probe is inserted through the tear duct to confirm it is patent and to clear any obstruction. It is used mainly when the duct that drains tears is blocked.

When is it indicated? It is usually considered for persistent tearing or repeated infections of the tear sac, often in infants with congenital obstruction.

What to expect? It is a brief procedure; in younger children it may require sedation depending on the physician's assessment.

Which specialist performs it? An ophthalmologist performs it, including the retina subspecialist when the case warrants it. It's advisable to get an evaluation to identify the cause of the tearing and decide on the most appropriate management.
