Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgery where tear duct blockages causing watery, irritated eyes and recurrent infections are treated. Normally, tears are supposed to drain from the eye into the nose. However, if there are blockages in one’s nasolacrimal duct, they can prevent the tears from flowing into the nose. The surgery aims to create a new pathway for the tears by bypassing the blocked nasolacrimal duct. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) can be performed externally by making an incision near the nose, or it can be done endoscopically through your nasal cavity. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) provides benefits such as restoration of proper tear flow, reduced tear overflow, and minimized risk of infection. Read on to know more. Read more
