DCR is a surgical procedure that creates a new pathway for tears to drain when the natural duct is blocked. It is highly effective in resolving chronic tearing.
The evaluation itself is comfortable. Treatments like stenting or DCR are performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for 1–2 weeks. Normal activities can usually be resumed within a few days.
