Blocked Tear Duct Treatment
What is a Blocked Tear Duct?
A Blocked Tear Duct is a common condition that can affect people of all ages. It occurs when tears cannot drain properly due to an obstruction in the tear drainage system. When these ducts become blocked, the tears cannot flow into the nasal cavity as they should, leading to persistent eye watering, frequent infections, and sometimes pain or swelling around the eyes.
At Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai and Abu Dhabi, our experienced surgeons offer personalised care using the latest techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients with blocked tear ducts.

Trauma
About Trauma
Trauma to the eye socket is common and can cause a number of problems including cuts and lacerations to the skin and eyelids, damage to the tear ducts and also fractures of the paper-thin bony walls of the eye socket.
Eyelid and tear-duct injuries which require surgical repair are highly specialised and should only be performed by an oculoplastic surgeon.
Fractures of the eye socket commonly cause problems with double vision and sometimes can make the eye appear sunken and hollow. These types of fractures may require surgery with the use of implants to restore and support the eye socket. The incisions required for this type of surgery are usually hidden on the inside of the eyelids.
