Watery Eye Surgery (Punctoplasty)

This procedure involves making a precise incision along the side of the nose to access the tear sac and adjacent bone. Through this opening, Mr Jeeva establishes a direct connection between the tear sac and the inside of the nose, effectively bypassing any blockages in the tear drainage system.

Mr Jeeva's expertise extends to endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy, a minimally invasive approach performed through the nose. This technique, often executed in collaboration with an Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgeon, eliminates the need for external incisions. Whether surgical or laser-based, this approach achieves the same goal: creating a direct pathway for tear drainage.

• Incision and Access: In both external and endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy, Mr Jeeva meticulously opens the tear sac and adjacent bone to establish the desired connection. This crucial step ensures proper tear drainage and eases your symptoms.
• Silicone Tubing Placement: To prevent closure of the surgical opening, silicone tubes are inserted. These tubes, carefully positioned by Mr Jeeva, extend from the corner of the eye to the inside of the nose. They play a vital role in maintaining the newly created pathway until it fully heals.

Following surgery, Mr Jeeva prioritises your comfort and recovery. The removal of silicone tubing, typically performed three months post-surgery, is a simple outpatient procedure. With minimal discomfort, you'll experience relief from watery eyes and enjoy improved eye comfort.
