The answer to the constant tearing of the eyes with the surgeon
How to solve the constant tearing of the eyes, a disorder that affects about one person over fifty per thousand? With surgery. " eyes produce tears constantly - says Francesco Bernardini, surgeon oculoplastico - but usually do not realize it because they are in the nose, where they are ingested. It can happen, for reasons still unknown, there is an obstruction of tube that connects the eyes and nose, naso-lacrimal duct. Then the tears stagnate in the eye, forcing the person to bring along a handkerchief to wipe continuously . A nuisance that does not improve with time, it can even lead to worse consequences. " The drops give temporary relief - Bernardini says - but certainly not reopen the blocked duct, it does not resolve the problem. In the long run, the stagnation of the tear fluid often causes chronic infections and, rarely, acute episodes of abscess of the lacrimal sac . "The solution to this is the surgery to 'remove the eye tearing constantly." In past years the operation was pretty invasive. Provided operation of general surgery, with pockets of blood transfusion because you lose a lot of blood, and a success rate of 50%. One in two patients obtained satisfactory results and that is why many doctors do not recommend it. Today, the intervention has been modernized, making minimally invasive and with a success rate above 90%. Runs in 20 minutes as an outpatient, you will not lose blood, there is no pain and no scars remain. The lacrimal sac is opened in the nose and the tears resume flowing into the nose, solving the disorder, "says Dr. Bernard.
