Function of lacrimal duct probing
Lacrimal duct probing is a common ophthalmic operation, which can be used to treat ophthalmic diseases such as lacrimal duct obstruction. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Eye Hospital has advanced equipment and an experienced team of doctors to provide patients with high-quality probing surgery of lacrimal passage. The function of probing the lacrimal passage will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Remove obstruction of lacrimal passage
Lacrimal duct obstruction refers to the inability of normal discharge of tears when they encounter obstacles in the process of flowing to the nasal cavity. Common symptoms of lacrimal duct obstruction include overflow of tear, redness and swelling of eyes, infection of lacrimal sac, etc. The probing of lacrimal passage can remove the obstruction of lacrimal passage by creating channels or repairing existing channels, so that tears can be discharged normally. The operation is usually carried out through a small incision in the nose or skin, and an experienced doctor can be selected to determine the best operation method according to the specific situation of the patient.
2. Relieve retention of tears
The probing of lacrimal passage can also alleviate the problem of retention of tears in the lacrimal passage. When the tear cannot be discharged normally, it will accumulate in the lacrimal passage and form retention. This will not only lead to perennial redness, swelling and pain of the eyes, but also easily lead to complications such as dacryocystitis and conjunctivitis. Through probing the lacrimal passage, the residual tears can be removed, the eye discomfort can be alleviated, and the quality of life of patients can be improved.
3. Prevent tear reflux
The probing of lacrimal passage can also prevent the reflux of tears. When the obstruction of the lacrimal passage is serious, the tears cannot be discharged smoothly, which will cause reflux, that is, the tears flow back from the nasal cavity to the eyes. Tear enzymes and bacteria can cause irritation and infection to eye tissues, aggravating the symptoms of patients. The probing of lacrimal passage can effectively prevent the reflow of tears and maintain eye health by establishing or restoring the normal drainage channel of tears.
4. Improve visual quality
The probing of lacrimal passage can improve the visual quality of patients. Tears are very important to keep the eye surface lubricated and clean. They can help remove dust and bacteria from the eyes and reduce the occurrence of eye diseases. When obstruction of the lacrimal passage occurs, tears cannot be discharged normally, resulting in dry eyes, blurred vision and other uncomfortable symptoms. To restore the normal discharge of tears by probing the lacrimal passage can improve the visual quality of patients and improve their quality of life.
Summary
As a common ophthalmic operation, probing of lacrimal passage plays an important role in relieving obstruction of lacrimal passage, alleviating retention of tears, preventing reflux of tears and improving visual quality. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Eye Hospital has advanced equipment and an experienced team of doctors to provide patients with high-quality lacrimal passage probing surgery services.
