Watering Eyes (Epiphora)

Watering eyes, medically known as Epiphora, occur when tears overflow due to excessive production or poor drainage. While tears help lubricate and protect the eyes, persistent watering may indicate conditions such as infections, dry eyes, or blocked tear ducts.

DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy): A Definitive Solution for Blocked Tear Ducts. When watering eyes are caused by a blocked tear duct, Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is considered the gold standard treatment. DCR is a specialized surgical procedure that creates a new drainage pathway between the tear sac and the nasal cavity, bypassing the blocked tear duct. This allows tears to drain normally, relieving excessive watering and reducing the risk of recurrent infections.
