Patients suffering from blocked or collapsed tear ducts often experience excessive tearing, recurrent infections, swelling, and significant discomfort. These issues may arise from trauma, congenital abnormalities, inflammation, or environmental factors.\u003cbr\u003eIf left untreated, symptoms can worsen, leading to chronic tearing (“wet eye”), pain, and persistent infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Landmark Innovation in Tear Duct Reconstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e1961\u003c\/strong\u003e, ophthalmologist \u003cstrong\u003eLester T.
