DCR is a surgery performed to create a new tear drain between the eye and nose when the current tear drain becomes blocked or obstructed.
The nasolacrimal duct obstruction is suffered by 2-4% of population over 40 years old and 30-40% of individuals over 90 years old.
The traditional treatment method is to surgically reopen the lacrimal duct externally.
However, this is a lengthy, difficult procedure associated with a high potential for side effects such as strong, post-operative bleeding and
scar formation.
GIGAA LASER can supply a procedure kit for DCR that makes the reopening of the lacrimal duct a safer, minimally invasive procedure.
The cannula is introduced once in order to perform the treatment pain-free and bloodlessly.
Then, the required drainage is set in place using the same cannula.
The procedure can be done under local anesthesia and leaves no scars.
