What are the effects of lacrimal duct blockage on children in Dalian Children's Eye Hospital?
Lacrimal gland duct obstruction is a common ophthalmic problem, especially in children. As a medical institution specialized in pediatric ophthalmology, Dalian Children's Eye Hospital is committed to treating and researching various pediatric ophthalmic diseases, including lacrimal gland blockage. Lacrimal gland duct blockage will bring a series of impacts on children's vision and quality of life, which will be described in detail from four aspects below.
1. Impaired vision
The blockage of lacrimal duct will lead to the inability of tears to flow out, which will lead to the retention of tears in the eyes. This will have a negative impact on children's vision. The retention of tears will lead to a decrease in the wetness of the eye surface, which will lead to dryness and inflammation of the eye, and eventually lead to corneal damage. Cornea is an important part of eye vision, and damage will lead to blurred vision and eye discomfort.
In addition, the obstruction of lacrimal duct may cause diplopia in children. The retention of tears will lead to the decline of eye clarity, and children will appear blurred and multiple images when looking at objects. This has a great impact on children's learning and life.
2. Eye pain and itching
The retention of tears caused by obstruction of lacrimal ducts can lead to eye discomfort, such as eye pain and itching. Eye pain may be caused by dryness and inflammation of the eye surface, while itching is caused by bacterial and viral infection. These uncomfortable symptoms will affect children's daily life and learning.
In addition, long-term eye itching will cause children to scratch their eyes frequently, which may lead to further injury, such as corneal scratch. Therefore, it is very important to treat the obstruction of lacrimal gland in time to avoid a series of problems caused by eye itching.
3. Eye infection and conjunctivitis
Lacrimal gland duct blockage will lead to retention of tears, which provides growth conditions for bacteria and other harmful microorganisms and increases the risk of eye infection in children. Common ocular infections include conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Conjunctivitis refers to inflammation of conjunctival tissue. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and increased secretion of the eyes. Keratitis is inflammation caused by corneal tissue damage. Symptoms include blurred vision, eye pain, etc.
Eye infection and conjunctivitis will not only bring discomfort to children, but also may cause permanent damage to vision in serious cases. Therefore, Dalian Children's Eye Hospital will make effective treatment and intervention in time for eye infection caused by lacrimal gland duct blockage to protect children's vision.
4. Psychological influence
Children may feel depressed and uneasy due to eye discomfort and vision problems caused by lacrimal gland duct blockage. This discomfort may affect their self-confidence and social skills. Children may be reluctant to participate in sports and other group activities because of blurred vision and eye pain, which will make it difficult for them to communicate and interact with their peers.
For children with lacrimal gland duct obstruction, the key is to get scientific treatment to restore eye function and vision, so as to reduce their psychological pressure. Dalian Children's Eye Hospital will provide comprehensive treatment plans and care to help children overcome this problem.

It has a deep understanding of eye problems caused by lacrimal gland blockage and its impact on children's vision and life. Lacrimal gland duct blockage will have a negative impact on children's vision, causing eye pain and itching, increasing the risk of eye infection and conjunctivitis, and may also affect children's mental health.
