Blocked Tear Duct - Massage High Quality

A blocked tear duct (nasolacrimal duct obstruction) is a very common condition in infants, affecting approximately 5% to 20% of newborns. It occurs when the membrane at the end of the tear duct fails to open at birth. While this condition often resolves on its own, massage is a widely recommended first-line treatment to help open the duct and prevent infection.
