Massage for Congenital Canal Obstruction

Massage for Congenital Canal Obstruction

In cases of congenital lacrimal duct obstruction, tear duct massage may be applied to promote opening and flow. However, it’s important to consult an eye doctor before applying such massage. Your doctor can provide guidance on the appropriate massage technique and frequency for you. Here are the commonly used tear duct massage techniques for congenital canal obstruction:

1. Hand Hygiene:

  • Begin by cleaning your hands. It’s important that your hands and nails are clean to prevent eye infections.

2. Gentle Touch:

  • Tear duct massage should be done with gentle and soft touches. Avoid applying excessive pressure with your fingers.

3. Massage Technique:

  • The tear duct point is located at the inner corner of the eyelids. To stimulate the tear duct, gently massage this area using your middle finger.
  • Apply gentle pressure to your eyelids and massage in circular motions.
  • Apply the massage in the same way for both eyes.

4. Massage Frequency:

  • Determine the massage frequency according to your doctor’s recommendation. Short massages performed several times a day are generally recommended.

5. Precautions::

  • If you experience pain or discomfort while performing tear duct massage, stop immediately.
  • If there is no improvement in your symptoms or if your condition worsens, seek immediate medical attention from an eye doctor.

Extra caution should be taken when applying tear duct massage to an infant with tear duct obstruction. Regular doctor check-ups are important to determine the effectiveness of the massage. If you have any doubts, consulting an eye doctor is the best course of action.
