Transnasal lacrimal duct surgery

On referral from an ophthalmologist, we perform operations on the tear ducts in the case of watery eyes.

As specialists in endonasal endoscopic (keyhole) surgery, opening the tear ducts to the nose and restoring the natural drainage of tears is part of the repertoire of standard procedures. External scars can be avoided.
