What Is Nasolacrimal Tear Duct Obstruction (Probing and Irrigation)?

Nasolacrimal Tear Duct Obstruction (Probing and Irrigation) is a corrective eye procedure designed to clear a blocked tear duct and restore normal tear drainage. A blocked tear duct leads to excessive tearing, persistent discharge, and repeated eye irritation. Probing gently opens the duct, while irrigation flushes it to ensure proper flow.

Parents and adult patients receive guidance on caring for the eye, watching for discharge, and supporting healing at home. Follow-up visits may be scheduled for optimal recovery.
