Blocked tear ducts are not a problem of new borns alone. Even adults can suffer from blocked tear ducts. It occurs more often in older people with eye infections. Usage of antibiotics will help the patient to recover and open the duct.

Posted on: 01/10/2009 Dear Pat, I have now also got a blocked tear duct and have been told by my doctor that what you had is able to be done easily with no pain. Did you have a sinus infection before it happened that caused it? only one eye is affected and yes I have a sinus infection.

Posted on: 12/29/2008 My eye doctor stretched the opening-inserted what felt like a needle & irrigated the duct w/salt water. It did hurt briefly, but it did open the duct up. Eye drops 3X daily followed...so far so good. |
