Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) Surgery in Gurgaon

If your eye waters constantly, or you get repeated swelling and discharge near the inner corner, a blocked tear duct is often the cause — and DCR surgery is the definitive fix. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) creates a new drainage channel between the tear sac and the nose, so tears can drain normally again. At Dayal Eye Centre, our oculoplastic surgeon performs DCR to stop the watering and prevent recurrent infection.

Understanding the Procedure

What Is a Blocked Tear Duct, and When Do You Need DCR?

Tears normally drain from the eye through a small duct into the nose. When that duct is blocked, tears back up and the eye waters constantly; the stagnant sac can also become infected (dacryocystitis), causing painful swelling near the inner corner of the eye.

DCR is recommended when a blockage causes persistent watering, or repeated infections. It bypasses the blockage by making a new opening from the tear sac into the nose.

When DCR Is Recommended
A constantly watering eye

Persistent tearing (epiphora) from a blocked tear duct that doesn’t settle on its own.

Repeated infections

Recurrent swelling, redness and discharge near the inner corner of the eye (dacryocystitis).

Painful tear-sac swelling

A tender lump beside the nose caused by a stagnant, infected tear sac.

Blockage confirmed on testing

Nasolacrimal-duct obstruction diagnosed on examination and syringing.

Procedure & Recovery

How Is DCR Performed?

DCR can be done through a small skin incision (external DCR) or through the nose without any skin cut (endoscopic DCR), usually under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. A tiny tube may be placed temporarily to keep the new passage open while it heals.

Most people recover within one to two weeks. Any skin incision is small and placed to heal discreetly.

Recovery Timeline
Day 0

External or endoscopic DCR under local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia. A temporary tube may be placed to keep the new passage open. Usually home the same day.

Week 1

Mild discomfort and some nasal congestion settle. Most people return to normal activities within one to two weeks.

Weeks 2–6

Healing continues; any small skin incision fades discreetly. We review you to confirm the tears are draining well.

Tube removal

If a tube was placed, it’s removed at a short follow-up once the passage has healed. Results vary by individual.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

DCR (dacryocystorhinostomy) creates a new drainage channel between the tear sac and the nose to bypass a blocked tear duct, so tears can drain normally and the constant watering stops. It also prevents the recurrent infections a blockage can cause.

Endoscopic (through-the-nose) DCR leaves no skin scar at all. External DCR uses a small incision near the side of the nose, placed and closed to heal discreetly. Your surgeon will discuss which approach suits you.

It’s done under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during it. Afterwards there’s usually mild discomfort and some nasal congestion for a few days.

DCR has high success rates for relieving a blocked tear duct and stopping the watering. A temporary tube is sometimes used to keep the new passage open while it heals. We’ll review you afterwards to confirm good drainage.

DCR for a blocked tear duct is medically necessary and usually covered, subject to your policy. We offer cashless options and help with pre-authorisation.
