Excessive tearing
Eye irritation or burning
Chronic redness
Recurrent debris around the eyelids
Symptoms related to punctal or canalicular buildup
Lacrimal irrigation is often performed as part of a comprehensive dry eye or ocular surface evaluation and can be combined with other therapies to optimize results.
