DACRYOCYSTITIS

This is an infection of the lacrimal sac, secondary to blockage of the nasolacrimal duct.

Tear drainage system helps to drain tears out of the eyes, but when it gets blocked, there is stagnancy of the tears in the lacrimal sac.

Over time this tear pool becomes infected and in turn causes infection of the lacrimal sac.

Signs and symptoms includes pain, fever, swollen eyes, discharge, et.c

Treating this condition requires an expert combination of steroids and antibiotics medication. Once the infection and pains have subsided, puncta piercing is required to ensure that there’s no blockage in the drainage system.
