If you have recently found that you have a lot of eye mucus and can't find the cause, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to check whether it is caused by blocked lacrimal ducts. The typical symptom of blocked lacrimal ducts is eye mucus, and if the disease is not treated in time, it can easily lead to dacryocystitis. If this is the case, it is very harmful to the patient. Therefore, it is important for patients to know how to treat blocked lacrimal ducts and actively receive treatment.

1. Lacrimal duct laser treatment: It has the advantages of less trauma, no side effects, no scars, short operation time and economy.

It is mainly used to treat lacrimal duct stenosis and obstruction caused by inflammation, such as lacrimal canaliculus, common lacrimal duct stenosis and obstruction, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, chronic dacryocystitis and other cases.

Tear duct surgery: including punctal plasty, tear duct probing, tear duct fistula repair, tear duct obstruction repair, traumatic tear duct rupture repair, common tear duct obstruction repair, dacryocystorhinostomy, total tear duct plasty, etc., suitable for cases such as punctal stenosis, congenital dacryocystitis, traumatic tear duct rupture, and chronic dacryocystitis.

In fact, the common methods for treating lacrimal duct obstruction currently include non-surgical treatments such as probing, intubation, threading, high-frequency electricity, and lacrimal cystectomy, nasolacrimal cystostomy, and laser methods. Among them, the use of laser treatment for lacrimal duct obstruction can reduce the patient's tissue damage to a certain extent without destroying the normal lacrimal duct structure. In addition, experts also remind everyone to pay close attention to phenomena such as tears and pus discharge from the eyes in daily life. Once abnormal tearing is discovered, medical treatment should be sought promptly.
