Tear duct disorders refer to conditions that affect the tear ducts, which are responsible for draining tears from the eyes into the nose. Common issues include blockages, infections, or inflammation, leading to excessive tearing or dry eyes. These disorders can occur in people of all ages and may result from various factors, including injury, infection, or congenital abnormalities. Treatment for tear duct disorders often involves addressing the underlying cause. Options may include medications for infections, procedures to clear blockages, or surgery in more severe cases. Regular check-ups with an eye care professional can help manage and prevent complications related to tear duct disorders.
