Dacryops

Dacryops is an outdated name for excess tear production.

Dacryops is an accumulation of tear fluid in the lacrimal gland, which leads to the formation of a cyst. This is a rare benign disease that most often occurs in women aged 20-40 years.

The causes of dacryops are not completely clear. It is believed that the causes may be inflammation or blockage of the lacrimal gland duct. This leads to the accumulation of tear fluid inside the gland and the formation of a cyst.

The main symptoms of dacryops are swelling and tenderness in the area of ​​the lacrimal gland. There may also be leakage of tear fluid from the eye on the affected side.

Diagnosis of dacryops is based on physical examination and imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI).

Treatment consists of surgical removal of the cyst and restoration of the outflow of tear fluid. Antibiotics are prescribed if necessary. The prognosis with timely treatment is favorable.

Dacryopsy is an outdated term used to describe excess tear production. It is not a scientific term and is not used in modern medicine.

Dacryopsia used to be called excessive production of tears due to inflammation of the tear ducts. This condition could be caused by various reasons such as infections, injuries or allergies.

Currently, excess tears are not considered a serious problem, as modern treatment methods can quickly and effectively cope with this condition. However, if you suspect excess tears, it is best to consult a doctor for advice and diagnosis.

“Obsolete” is an abbreviation that is outdated and no longer described in the medical literature. Currently, it is necessary to take into account that with the excessive formation of tear fluid, slow resorption of the cornea of ​​the eye occurs, and changes in the cornea in the first stages of the disease, as a rule, are atrophic, and not product.
