A blocked tear duct is a partial or complete blockage in the pathway that carries tears from the surface of the eye into the nose. Alternative Names Dacryostenosis; Blocked nasolacrimal duct; Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO)
Blocked tear ducts happen most often in babies, though they may occur at any age. They affect about 6 out of 100 newborns
Many cases cannot be prevented. Proper treatment of nasal infections and conjunctivitis may reduce the risk of having a blocked tear duct. Using protective eyewear may help prevent a blockage caused by injury
