Specialist Doctor I Tran The Thang, Director of Operations of Hanoi - Dong Nai Eye Hospital, said that 90% of the causes of tear duct rupture are due to traffic accidents, household accidents, and trauma. Doctors have received a number of young children who played with pets (dogs, cats), then were bitten or scratched by dogs or cats, leading to tear duct rupture. Or some cases were bumped or fell, causing eye injuries.
Symptoms of lacrimal duct rupture are profuse, watery tears (also known as watery eyes), discomfort in the eye area after injury or not affected by emotions.
Doctor Thang recommends that when experiencing the above symptoms, people should go to medical facilities specializing in ophthalmology for examination, accurate assessment of the condition and timely treatment. Hanoi - Dong Nai Eye Hospital regularly receives cases of tear duct rupture. Treatment of tear duct rupture depends on the location of the rupture. If the patient is detected and treated early within 24-48 hours, the treatment will be more effective, because at that time the tear duct is not swollen much, the doctor can clearly see the anatomical structure of the tear duct to perform accurate tear duct repair. The average treatment time is 30-45 minutes. After treatment, the patient can go home without having to stay in the hospital.
According to Dr. Thang, if the patient has a tear duct rupture in a location that is not too difficult, is hospitalized early, is not accompanied by systemic diseases, the hospital has a highly specialized ophthalmologist, and has adequate equipment and machinery, the success rate of treatment can be from 90-99%.
