An expert guide to tear duct surgery

Patients who have watery or sticky eyes may opt for surgery. Watery eyes may not seem like a big deal but they are a huge problem for patients, particularly if they’re trying to read because the water wells up in their eyes. When they try to look at something it’s as if they’re looking through a swimming pool. There are lots of different causes and treatments for watery eye, which require a thorough investigation and a management plan. Treatment can range from the minimalist intervention of cleaning up the eyelids and treating underlying blepharitis and mid hygiene issues to quite significant major surgery that can take up to an hour to do. There is a broad suite of problems that are encompassed by watery eye. It can affect a broad range of age groups, from newborn babies to 95 year olds.

Mr McMullen made me feel at ease the moment I met him. He gave me different options for surgery and explained everything in great detail. I felt completely safe in his hands and he even made me laugh during surgery! I’m absolutely thrilled with my results!
