Treatment for excessive eye watering (Epiphora) performed by a specialist in oculoplastic surgery: the assurance of an effective, safe, and personalised solution for your eyes.
Stop excessive watering with precise and safe treatment from a specialist in oculoplastic surgery.
Dr Francisco Zamorano is an ophthalmologist with a sub-specialty in oculoplastic surgery and the lacrimal system. His practice focuses on the accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of watering eyes, applying medical or surgical solutions tailored to each patient.
Every case of watering eyes has a different cause. Therefore, Dr Zamorano combines clinical examination with specific tests to accurately identify the source of the problem and plan the most appropriate treatment, avoiding unnecessary interventions.
We offer solutions ranging from medical treatments for mild cases to Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery for cases of complete obstruction of the tear duct. All procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and sedation, as day cases (no overnight hospital stay), and offer a quick recovery.
Solve your watering eye issues in Malaga with expert surgery by Dr Zamorano. Recovery in 1 week and visible improvement within the first few days.
The production and drainage of tears can be compared to the functioning of a sink. The eye may water due to excessive tear production (the tap is running too fast) or because the tears produced are not draining properly (the drain is blocked). Therefore, it is essential to identify the precise cause to apply the appropriate treatment.Shutterstock
It depends on the cause. If there is an obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, the most effective option is Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery. This is a safe technique that restores normal tear drainage.
The cause of watering eyes in children is usually an obstruction from birth (congenital) of the final part of the tear duct. In most cases, this resolves spontaneously during the first year of life. During that time, you can help open it by massaging the tear duct area. If spontaneous opening is not achieved after this time, probing of the tear duct is indicated. This involves passing a fine probe to open the membrane causing the obstruction. It is a quick and simple procedure performed under light sedation and does not require hospital admission.
