Lacrimal sac syringing is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to check for blockages in tear ducts. Patients with blocked tear drainage often complain of constant tearing, sticky eyes, or repeated infections. During this test, sterile fluid is gently passed through the tear duct to check whether it flows into the nasal passage normally. It is a safe and quick OPD procedure that provides immediate diagnostic clarity. If obstruction is detected, the patient might need further procedures such as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for permanent relief.
