Tearing & Tear Structure Problems at
The Eye Care & Surgery Center in New Jersey

Tearing has many causes. It can result from over production of tears, or inability of the normal tears to drain out of the eye through the normal drainage pathway. An abnormal positioning of the eyelids can also cause tearing, as the normal anatomy is required to direct the tears through the drainage pathway. Nerve damage is also a possible cause of tearing, as the physiologic tear pump mechanism may be impaired in those situations. Interestingly, people with dry eyes often complain of tearing. This occurs as the backup tear production system of the eye will produce an over abundance of tears in an attempt to protect an eye that seems to be drying out. Dr. Thiagarajah has extensive experience in evaluating and treating all forms of dry eye problems. He can correct an abnormally positioned eyelid, as well as open blocked tear ducts in both adults and children. Surgical correction of tear ducts is called Lachrymal Surgery. Please feel free to inquire about Dr. Thiagarajah’s expertise to help you with any tearing problems.
