Watering eyes caused by blockage of the lacrimal duct is a relatively common condition, particularly amongst the elderly. The traditional method of treatment is an external, surgical removal of the stenosis. This is a lengthy, difficult procedure allied with considerable side effects for the patient.
We run a 2 days Workshop with hands on training on a revolutionary new way of performing DCR with Laser. Unique advantages of the Laser DCR procedure include a lower recurrance rate, an extremely short procedure with zero patient down time and no bleeding. The Laser DCR application set ( Diode Laser with 980 nm wavelength ) which turns the re-opening of the lacrimal duct into a safer and minimally invasive procedure. The treatment can be performed under local anaesthetic and leaves no visible scar. It is a 05 minutes procedure with Zero patient down time, lower recurrence rate, and no postoperative bleeding. |
