# Watering Eye & DCR Surgery

URL: https://mohamedmohyudin.co.uk/treatments/watering-eye-dcr-surgery/

## Quick answer

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) creates a new drainage route for tears when an appropriate tear-duct blockage is confirmed. Not every watering eye needs this operation: eye-surface irritation and eyelid position can also contribute. Mr Mohyudin offers assessment of watering eyes and discussion of suitable treatment in Yorkshire.

## FAQs

### Does every watering eye need DCR?

No. The cause must be established first. Eye-surface or eyelid problems can also cause watering and may need different treatment.

### Will I need a tube or stent?

This depends on the proposed procedure. Ask whether one is planned, how it will be checked and when it would be removed.

### What if watering continues after surgery?

The eye should be reassessed. Persistent symptoms can reflect more than one cause or a drainage problem that needs further treatment.
