Blocked Tear Duct
The bodys lacrimal (tear duct) system is made up of glands and ducts that work with our eyelids and lashes to keep our eyes from drying out. When tear ducts are too narrow or blocked, tears cant drain the way they should. That makes the eyes water a lot, swell or even become infected. Since many babies are born with a tear duct system that isnt fully developed, a blocked tear duct tends to happen most often in infants.
If your child has a blocked tear duct (also called congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction), we can show you how to take care of the affected eye and prevent infection. If it doesnt get better on its own, our pediatric eye experts at 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Children'scan treat this very common condition in kids.
