Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction Surgery
Having a blocked tear duct means that your tears don’t drain from your eye properly, resulting in watery eyes and tears streaming down your face throughout the day. Although it’s not usually anything serious, it can be bothersome and interfere with your basic day-to-day activities.

Are you considering laser eye surgery to correct your near-sightedness? As well as LASIK and LASEK, there is also the option for a laser procedure called SMILE. Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a femtosecond laser-assisted refractive procedure for the treatment of short-sightedness (myopia) and blurry vision (astigmatism). Here, one of our expert ophthalmologists Mr Radwan Almousa explains how it works and just how precise that the procedure is.
