What is a blocked lacrimal passage
The obstruction of the lacrimal passage refers to the inability of tears to flow into the nasal cavity, resulting in the inability of tears to discharge smoothly. Tears are an important substance to keep eyes moist and clean. When tears cannot be discharged normally, they will stay on the surface of the eyes, causing discomfort such as redness, swelling, pain, and vision loss.
Lacrimal duct obstruction can occur at any age, but it is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. The most common reason for lacrimal duct obstruction is lacrimal duct stenosis or obstruction, which may be caused by congenital dysplasia, infection, trauma, tumor, etc.
The main symptoms of lacrimal duct obstruction include excessive tears, lacrimal lake hydrops, red and swollen eyes, tingling sensation, blurred vision, etc. If these symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time for diagnosis and treatment.
