Watery eye
Hi,
My 4.3 years old son had watery eye for both eyes since birth. One eye is ok after 1 year of birth. Still one eye has continues water. We have been suggesting massage and drops since beginning. Some dr. Suggested wait for some time do massage, this and that eye drop. Now he is 4.3 year old and finally we done eye probbing at Kelkar hospital pune without sucess. Totally disappointed now. Now dr. Suggesting he might need surgery of bone but need to consult with other Dr.
Probbing is not 100% sucess. Now we want his eye should be cured 100%. Does any dr. has treatment.
Regards,
Prashant

Hello
Your son has a problem called as congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.90 % of cases resolve spontaneously by 1 year of life.90% of the remaining 10% resolve with massaging and probing.that's why his one eye is normal now.
Surgery is the best option at this age,called as dacryocystorhinostomy.the surgery has a very high success rate .The youngest child we operated on for this same condition was 2.5 years old.so rest assured.consult an ophthalmic oculoplastic surgeon.
