Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (Blocked Tear Duct)
Tears are naturally produced in the eyes to keep them clean and moist. Normally, these tears drain through very small openings near the inner corner of the eyelids and pass into the nose through a tiny channel called the tear duct.
When this tear duct becomes blocked, the tears are unable to drain properly. As a result, tears collect in the eyes and keep overflowing onto the cheeks. This condition is called a blocked tear duct (Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction).
Because the tears remain stagnant, the eye may also develop:
Constant watering
Sticky discharge
Crusting around the eyes
Occasional swelling or infection near the inner corner of the eye
This problem is commonly seen in infants but can also occur in adults.
Case Study:
This is the case of my Housemaid. She suffered with lacrymal duct stenosis.
Her left eye was closed due to obstruction. Based on symptoms I ahave transmitted Staphysagria 0/1 with her hair. She got better within a week wondefully.
