DCR Surgery (Dacryocystorhinostomy)

Permanent Relief from Chronic Watery Eyes and Tear Duct Blockage

**DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy)** is the definitive surgical procedure used to treat a blocked tear duct system, which causes persistent, annoying symptoms like excessive tearing (**epiphora**), discharge, and recurrent eye infections.

This procedure, performed by our specialized **Oculoplastic Surgeon**, creates a new, direct connection between the tear sac and the nasal cavity. This bypasses the blockage, allowing tears to drain normally and resolving the chronic watering and potential infection permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions About DCR Surgery

Blockages can be caused by aging, chronic eye infections, injury, or inflammatory conditions in the nasal or sinus passages. In some infants, it is present from birth (congenital blockage).

**External DCR** is done via a small incision on the side of the nose, leaving a small, usually unnoticeable scar. **Endoscopic DCR** (Endo DCR) is performed entirely through the nose using a camera, leaving no visible external scar. Both techniques have high success rates.

There may be mild swelling and bruising (for external DCR) and some nasal congestion. Your surgeon may place a small silicone tube temporarily to keep the new tear drain open, which is removed a few weeks later. Most patients return to normal activity within a week.

DCR surgery, whether external or endoscopic, has an excellent success rate, typically ranging from **90% to 95%**, providing long-term relief from tearing and discharge symptoms.
