A blocked tear duct evaluation helps determine why tears are not draining properly from the eye into the nose. Symptoms such as watery eyes, recurrent eye infections, or discharge may indicate an obstruction. Early evaluation ensures appropriate treatment and reduces the risk of infection or chronic irritation.
What We Assess During Your Visit:
- Tear flow and eye drainage function
- Presence of discharge or infection
- Swelling or redness around the eye
- Congenital or age-related tear duct issues
- History of eye surgeries or injuries
- Recommendations for treatment, including massage, medication, or referral
Why Early Evaluation Matters
In-home assessment allows convenient evaluation for tear duct issues without needing clinic visits. UrgentCare2Go® helps patients:
- Identify blocked or impaired tear ducts
- Reduce risk of eye infections
- Receive guidance on massage or medications
- Obtain referral to ophthalmology if necessary

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
UrgentCare2Go
What is a blocked tear duct?
A blocked tear duct occurs when tears cannot drain from the eye into the nose, leading to watery eyes or discharge.
What are the symptoms of a blocked tear duct?
Common symptoms include excessive tearing, eye discharge, redness, swelling near the eye, and recurrent eye infections.
Can adults and children both have blocked tear ducts?
Yes. Infants often have congenital blockages, while adults may develop obstruction due to infection, injury, or age-related changes.
Is in-home evaluation safe for eye issues?
Yes. Mobile providers follow strict infection control protocols and can safely assess blocked tear ducts at home.
Do I need treatment for a blocked tear duct?
Treatment may include gentle massage, warm compresses, eye drops, or referral for procedures if conservative measures fail.
Can infections occur from a blocked tear duct?
Yes. Stagnant tears can lead to bacterial infections such as conjunctivitis or dacryocystitis. Prompt evaluation reduces risk.
Will insurance cover this visit?
Most major insurance plans cover tear duct evaluations and related treatments.
Should I try home remedies before seeing a provider?
Gentle massage and warm compresses are safe, but persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a medical professional.
Can blocked tear ducts resolve on their own?
In infants, some congenital blockages may resolve spontaneously. Adults often require treatment or referral.
When should I seek urgent care for a blocked tear duct?
Seek urgent evaluation if there is severe pain, sudden swelling, fever, or signs of serious infection.
