Second: first, conservative treatment, topical application of antibiotic eye drops, at the same time to the nasolacrimal duct direction of the dacryocyst massage, 2-3 times a day, it is possible to flush the congenital membrane or upper dandruff. When this method is ineffective, lacrimal duct irrigation can be used to break through the obstruction. When it can no longer be effective, lacrimal duct probing should be considered.
