What Is Dacryology?
Dacryology is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that treats conditions affecting:
-
Tear ducts
-
Tear sac
-
Tear drainage pathway
-
Lacrimal gland disorders
When the tear duct becomes blocked, tears cannot drain properly into the nose. As a result, tears overflow and cause irritation, infection, and discomfort.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment prevent complications.
