Constantly tearing?

DO YOU CONSTANTLY TEAR?

There are many reasons why your eyes may tear:

-Dry eyes lead to overproduction from the lacrimal glands -Lax or loose/saggy eyelids may not be able to pump tears into the drainage system -Small or closed openings to the drainage system will not allow tears to be drained. This may be secondary to chronic inflammation, certain chemotherapy agents like tamoxifen. -Obstructed nasolacrimal ducts do not allow the tears to drain into the nose -Less common is overproduction of tears from the lacrimal gland

A thourough evaluation by a qualified oculofacial specialist will aid in deciphering the etiology of your condition, and the treatment for it. It may be as simple as lubricating your eyes with artificial tears, or it may require nasolacrimal surgery.

What is Oculofacial Plastic Surgery?

Steven Covici, MD, has owned and operated a private plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in Springfield, Massachusetts, for more than 15 years. A highly skilled physician, Dr. Steven Covici is one of only a few hundred surgeons in the United States who specialize in oculofacial plastic surgery. Oculofacial surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on the eyes and the structures surrounding them. Surgeons specializing in oculofacial techniques can treat a range of conditions, including droopy eyelids, blocked tear ducts, orbital and facial bone fractures, and thyroid eye disease. Oculofacial surgeons also provide a number of rejuvenation procedures, such as eyelid lifts, brow lifts, face-lifts, nasal reshaping, and laser resurfacing.  In addition to a one-year internship in surgery, physicians who wish to become an oculofacial surgeon must complete a three-year ophthalmology residency and a two-year oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship program, which is governed by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS). Currently, there are only 400 surgeons in the United States and Canada who have been recognized with a fellowship in ASOPRS.
