Nasolacrimal Duct Massage Jun 2026

Contraindications for nasolacrimal duct massage include:

The nasolacrimal duct system consists of the lacrimal sac, nasolacrimal duct, and inferior nasal meatus. The lacrimal sac is located in the medial canthal region and receives tears from the eye through the canaliculi. The nasolacrimal duct extends from the lacrimal sac to the inferior nasal meatus, where it opens into the nasal cavity. The duct is lined with a mucous membrane that contains goblet cells and ciliated epithelial cells, which help to move tears towards the nasal cavity.
