    Tear duct surgery for babies can be done in the following ways:
    1. Probe procedure: While the baby is asleep, a thin probe is inserted into the tear duct to remove the blockage. This is pain-free and usually effective.

    2. Endoscopic DCR: A tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted through the nose to remove the blockage.

    3. External DCR: A small cut is made on the side of the nose to create a new passageway from the lacrimal glands to the nose.

    5. Referral to an eye specialist: If the tear duct is still blocked by 12 months, a specialist may perform a procedure to open up the duct.
