Question
Can obstructed tear ducts in both eyes be treated?
Answer
In cases of obstructed tear ducts in both eyes, if considering surgical treatment, it is necessary to first adjust blood pressure to meet surgical standards and ensure that the heart condition is suitable for surgery. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination at a hospital, and based on personal circumstances, such as if the lacrimal sac is swollen and the individual is older, surgery may not be recommended. If surgery is decided upon, hospitalization is required to adjust to a normal state and meet surgical standards before proceeding. For patients with severe tear duct obstruction, it is advised to seek medical attention early and follow the doctor’s recommendations for treatment, avoiding the blind use of advertised medications to prevent exacerbating the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only and are hoped to be helpful.
