Understanding Dacryocystorhinostomy
Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the normal flow of tears from the lacrimal sac into the nose. When tear ducts become obstructed or blocked, it can lead to excessive tearing, recurrent infections, and discomfort. DCR is an effective solution for individuals suffering from chronic tear duct blockages.
The Benefits of Dacryocystorhinostomy
DCR offers several significant benefits to those experiencing tear duct abnormalities. By addressing the root cause of tear duct obstructions, DCR can:
- Alleviate Excessive Tearing: DCR helps restore the normal flow of tears, reducing excessive tearing and improving visual clarity.
- Prevent Infections: By ensuring proper drainage, DCR can minimize the risk of recurrent infections associated with blocked tear ducts.
- Enhance Comfort: Individuals who undergo DCR often experience improved comfort levels, as it resolves discomfort caused by tear duct obstructions.
- Restore Clear Vision: With clear tear ducts, vision can be significantly enhanced, leading to an improved quality of life.

- Lacrimal Sac Examination: The lacrimal sac is carefully examined to assess the extent of the obstruction and plan the corrective measures accordingly.
- Creation of New Pathway: Using advanced surgical techniques, a new pathway is created to bypass the blocked tear duct and facilitate proper tear drainage into the nose.
