A 70 year old patient with frequent tearing in both eyes, usually due to impaction or tear duct obstruction, needs to be seen by a hospital ophthalmologist in a timely manner and usually requires surgery to correct the problem. Tears are a common symptom in ophthalmology. Tears in elderly patients are usually caused by impaction or obstruction of the tear ducts, which can be diagnosed through an interview with a doctor. 1. Trichiasis: Tears caused by trichiasis usually require surgery to correct, for example, blepharoplasty, to relieve the eyelashes from irritating the eye, which can eliminate the symptoms of tears. 2. Lacrimal duct obstruction: If the tearing is caused by the obstruction of the lacrimal duct, surgery is needed to unblock the lacrimal duct in order to alleviate the symptoms, for example, doing tear duct probing surgery, lacrimal duct placement, and so on. A 70-year-old male patient with frequent tearing in both eyes is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
