Lacrimal duct blockage is a condition in which the tear ducts have an obstruction or are blocked causing excessive tearing or mucus discharge from the eye. Most of times, this condition is congenital and affects around 5% of all new-borns.
There is no specific factor which attributes to the chances of babies having this disorder other than the presence of Down’s syndrome or other facial abnormalities.
