Symptoms & Signs
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
The major symptom of a blocked tear duct is constant tearing and watering of the eye. Tears run down the face. Sometimes, there is mucus on the lid margins and lashes. Occasionally, there is a secondary infection in the nasolacrimal sac. This causes tenderness on the side of the nose near the affected eye.
