Your eye will then be examined again by a surgeon. This will also involve tests that might include syringing water through your tear ducts to see whether there is a blockage. After we have discussed your options and you have decided to have the operation, we will arrange a date for the operation and ask you to visit a pre-operative assessment clinic. You might have some routine tests there to check your general health, including blood tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG). You will be advised to stop taking any medicines containing aspirin or ibuprofen two weeks before the operation.

You are advised not to drive, drink alcohol or take sedative drugs for 24 hours. If your eye pad has not been removed in the ophthalmology clinic, gently remove it in the morning at home and wash normally, taking care to dab and not rub the operation site. If you have had external DCR, it is advisable to keep your skin wound dry and uncovered. After endoscopic DCR, your doctor will usually ask you to perform nasal douching (wash- out) for several weeks using saline spray for the nose.<\/p><p>After the operation, you might experience some blood-stained oozing from your nose. This usually stops after a few hours. If there is bleeding, apply an ice pack to the bridge of your nose (on the opposite side to the dressing). Wipe away any bleeding with a paper tissue. If the bleeding is severe or continues for more than half an hour, seek medical advice immediately from Athens EyeCare Clinic or your nearest accident and emergency department.<\/p><p>If you experience pain, (which is unusual), you can take paracetamol or codeine. You must not take aspirin or ibuprofen for two weeks as this could cause some bleeding. It is usual to have a watery eye for some weeks after surgery until the swelling and inflammation settles, and the rods are removed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2803\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2803\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Is there anything else I should not do after the surgery?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2803\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2803\"><p>Hot food and drinks should be avoided for up to 24 hours after the operation as this can trigger post-operative bleeding.
