Lacrimal System Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment with Dr. Mohamed Youssef Gharib

Many people suffer from frequent eye problems such as excessive tearing or severe dryness, without realizing that the cause may lie within the lacrimal system. Dr. Mohamed Youssef Gharib, Consultant in Ophthalmology and Laser Vision Correction, offers comprehensive solutions for diagnosing and treating lacrimal system disorders, including blockages and excessive tear production.

What is the Lacrimal System?
The lacrimal system is responsible for producing and draining tears from the eyes to the nose. When this system malfunctions, symptoms like constant tearing or recurrent infections appear. Dr. Mohamed Youssef Gharib treats these conditions professionally using the latest technologies.

Most Common Lacrimal Disorders:

• Blocked Tear Ducts: Can be congenital or caused by chronic infections.

• Excessive Tearing: Results from eye irritation or poor tear drainage.

• Dacryocystitis (tear sac infection): Causes pain and swelling near the inner corner of the eye.

• Dry Eye: Often misdiagnosed due to apparent excessive tearing.

Diagnosis and Treatment Methods:
Dr. Mohamed Youssef Gharib uses advanced techniques such as tear duct imaging and flow tests to accurately determine the cause. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, tear duct irrigation, or precise surgical intervention when necessary.

When Should You See a Doctor?
If you suffer from frequent tearing or chronic eye infections, don’t hesitate to consult Dr. Mohamed Youssef Gharib, as early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent complications and restore comfort to your eyes.
