Treatment of drainage NLD in children

In young children, a large number of children have this duct blocked. The main reason for this closure is that the development of this duct is still incomplete, and as it grows, the duct becomes complete and opens automatically, just as the rest of the organs complete. These children do not need any surgery. During this time watering may occur off and on from their eyes but it does no harm. The age of automatic recovery is one year. If this duct does not open for a year, then it will never open automatically. An operation is required to open it.

• Many children get an infection of the tear sac, which also causes discharge from the eye. Therefore, if discharge also starts, then it is necessary to use medicine in such a condition to treat the inflammation is and also to prevent it from becoming chronic.
• If there is chronic inflammation inside the sac and it does not heal with medication, it is better not to wait until one year of age. And the operation should be done earlier.
• In most of these children, the problem is solved by a small operation called Probing.
• If this does not solve the problem, then a major operation i.e. silicon stent implantation is necessary. And often a tube is inserted through an operation that is removed several months later.

Treatment of NLD blockage in older people

Treatment for older people varies according to the nature of the disease. Some of the cases are described below:

• A large number of people are cured by the use of medicine alone.
• Many people have obstructions in the early parts of the lacrimal pssage, such as as a result of a stroke or other forms of paralysis. Their eye pumping system is affected. Or the mouth of the draining punctum starts to stay away from the eye the condition is called ectropion. In these cases the removal of the relevant cause stops the watering. Most of these are treated with surgery.
• A large number of people who have a blocked canal also have a small operation called Probing.
• For those whose problems have not been resolved in these ways, a major operation (DCR) is needed.
