At Samarth Nethralaya, we specialize in Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) — a surgical procedure performed to treat chronic tear duct blockage and improve tear drainage. Led by Dr. Pinto C N (MBBS, MD – AIIMS, FAICO), our expert team provides safe and effective DCR surgeries using advanced techniques to ensure optimal outcomes.

Chronic watering of the eye (epiphora), recurrent infections, and discomfort due to blocked nasolacrimal ducts are common reasons patients are recommended DCR surgery. Our approach involves creating a new tear drainage passage from the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity, bypassing the obstruction.

We offer both external DCR and endoscopic (scarless) DCR, based on the patient’s anatomy, preference, and clinical condition. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia in a sterile, well-equipped surgical setting.

Pre-operative evaluation includes tear drainage tests, diagnostic imaging, and nasal endoscopy when required. Each case is personally assessed by Dr. Pinto, ensuring a tailored surgical plan for every patient. Post-surgical care focuses on rapid recovery, infection control, and long-term relief from symptoms.

Our commitment is to not just address the blockage but to restore tear function, eye comfort, and improve quality of life. With years of surgical experience and modern instrumentation, we ensure minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and excellent success rates.
