Dacryostenosis treatment in Guadalajara

Dacryostenosis is the obstruction of the duct that drains tears from the eye to the nose, which prevents them from flowing normally; it is common in infants and can also occur in adults.

Common symptoms:

• Constant tearing that moistens the cheek
• Frequent discharge or crusting
• At times, redness or swelling at the inner corner of the eye

When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to consult when the tearing persists, there is repeated discharge, or there are signs of irritation in the tear duct area.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who evaluates the tear duct and guides the management. If you notice these symptoms in yourself or your baby, it is advisable to have it checked by an eye care professional.
