Blocked tear ducts can be painful and dangerous to the long-term health of your eyes. Fortunately, the professional facial plastic surgeons at The Morgenstern Center have the qualifications and experience to offer King of Prussia revision surgery on your tear ducts when necessary. But when does it become necessary?

The first step in determining whether you need tear duct revision surgery is to figure out whether you have a blocked tear duct. Symptoms of a blocked tear duct include:

Inflammation of the tear duct and eye
Tenderness and swelling in the skin around the tear duct
Frequent eye infections
Mucus discharge from the eye
Blurred vision
Tears tinged with blood
Persistent fever
Crusty eyelashes

Next, you should determine whether there are alternatives to surgery. Tear duct revision surgery is a big step and should not be taken lightly. Your doctor at The Morgenstern Center can help you figure out whether antibiotic drops, dilation, intubation, or "flushing" of the eyes can resolve the problem.
