Nasal splint may improve tear duct surgery success
NCT ID NCT07605026
First seen May 23, 2026
Summary
This study compared two versions of a surgery for blocked tear ducts (endoscopic DCR) in 150 adults. One group received a small internal nasal splint after surgery, the other did not. Researchers checked if the splint helped keep the new tear duct open, reduced scarring, and stopped watery eyes.
