Dacryology

Dacryology at Patil Center for Advanced Eye Care

Dacryology is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the lacrimal system (tear ducts and glands). At Patil Center for Advanced Eye Care, we provide advanced evaluation and treatment for patients experiencing excessive tearing, watery eyes, or blocked tear ducts. At Patil Center for Advanced Eye Care, we combine modern diagnostic tools with expert surgical techniques to provide comprehensive dacryology services. If you or your loved one is experiencing constant watery eyes or tear duct problems, consult our specialists for the right treatment.

Symptoms of Lacrimal Disorders

You may need a dacryology consultation if you experience:

  • Continuous watery eyes (epiphora)

  • Redness and irritation around the eyes

  • Recurrent eye infections or swelling near the inner corner

  • Pain or tenderness around the nose and eye area

  • Discharge from the eyes

  • Blurred or fluctuating vision due to watery eyes

Diagnostic Procedures

At Patil Center, we use advanced diagnostic techniques such as:

  • Dacryocystography (DCG): Imaging of the tear drainage system

  • Dacryoscintigraphy (DSG): Functional test for tear drainage

  • Probing and syringing: To check tear duct blockage

  • Endoscopic evaluation: For detailed examination of the lacrimal system

Treatment Options

We offer both medical and surgical treatments depending on the severity:

  • Medications for mild infections and inflammation

  • Tear duct probing (especially in children)

  • Balloon dacryoplasty to open blocked tear ducts

  • Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery – creating a new pathway for tear drainage

  • Endoscopic DCR – a scarless, minimally invasive approach

Precautions After Treatment

To ensure proper healing and results:

  • Use prescribed eye drops and medications regularly

  • Avoid rubbing or pressing on the eyes

  • Maintain proper eye hygiene

  • Follow up with your doctor as scheduled

  • Avoid dust, smoke, and allergens that may irritate the eyes
