&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blocked Tear Duct: Symptoms, Causes &amp;amp; Treatment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt;A blocked tear duct occurs when the eye&amp;rsquo;s natural drainage system is obstructed,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; either partially or fully.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; Because the tears have nowhere to go,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; they back up,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; leaving the eye chronically watery,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; crusty,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; or irritated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How the Drainage System Works&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Your eyes are equipped with a continuous irrigation system:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;4,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;4,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Lacrimal Glands:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; Located above each eyeball,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; these glands constantly produce tear fluid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;4,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;4,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;The Blink:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; Every time you blink,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; your eyelids spread this fluid across the eye surface to keep it moist and healthy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;4,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;4,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Drainage:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; Under normal conditions,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&quot;&gt; excess fluid flows into tiny openings in the corners of your lids and travels through the tear ducts into your nose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 data-path-to-node=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Causes and Demographics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The reason for the blockage often depends on a person&#39;s stage of life:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;8,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;8,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Infants:&lt;/strong&gt; It is very common for newborns to be born with an underdeveloped or blocked duct. In most cases, the passage opens on its own within the first year without medical intervention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;8,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;8,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Adults:&lt;/strong&gt; A blockage later in life is typically triggered by external factors such as an injury, a localized infection, or, in rare instances, a tumor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 data-path-to-node=&quot;9&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatment and Recovery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Fortunately, this condition is almost always treatable. The specific approach a doctor takes&amp;mdash;whether it&#39;s simple massage, antibiotics, or a minor procedure&amp;mdash;is determined by the underlying cause of the clog and the age of the patient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blocked Tear Duct Symptoms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A blocked tear duct can manifest through several noticeable changes in the eye&#39;s appearance and comfort. Keep an eye out for these indicators:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Excessive Tearing:&lt;/strong&gt; The most obvious sign is a very watery eye, as tears cannot drain properly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Persistent Irritation:&lt;/strong&gt; You may notice redness in the white of the eye or frequent, recurring bouts of &quot;pink eye&quot; (conjunctivitis).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Visible Buildup:&lt;/strong&gt; Crusting along the eyelids is common, often accompanied by the discharge of mucus or pus from the eye&#39;s surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Physical Discomfort:&lt;/strong&gt; This often includes painful swelling localized near the inside corner of the eye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Vision Changes:&lt;/strong&gt; In many cases, the excess fluid and discharge can lead to blurred vision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blocked Tear Duct Causes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A blockage can occur at any stage of life, from infancy through adulthood, and can happen at any point along the drainage pathway. Here is a breakdown of why these obstructions occur:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Congenital Issues (at birth):&lt;/strong&gt; Many babies are born with a drainage system that isn&#39;t fully developed. Frequently, a thin membrane remains over the &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;147&quot;&gt;nasolacrimal duct&lt;/strong&gt; (the opening into the nose), preventing tears from passing through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;The Aging Process:&lt;/strong&gt; As we get older, the tiny entry points for tears&amp;mdash;the &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;72&quot;&gt;puncta&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;can naturally narrow, making it harder for fluid to enter the drainage system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Inflammation and Infection:&lt;/strong&gt; Chronic swelling or long-term infections in the eyes, nose, or the drainage system itself can lead to structural blockages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Physical Trauma:&lt;/strong&gt; Facial injuries can result in bone damage or scarring that disrupts the natural flow. Even microscopic debris, such as stray skin cells or dirt particles, can become lodged in the duct.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Tumors:&lt;/strong&gt; Although rare, a growth in the nose or anywhere along the tear pathway can physically obstruct the flow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,5,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,5,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Medical Side Effects:&lt;/strong&gt; * &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,5,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;24&quot;&gt;Eye Medications:&lt;/strong&gt; Long-term use of certain drops, particularly those for glaucoma, can occasionally cause blockages.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,5,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,5,1,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Cancer Therapy:&lt;/strong&gt; Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are known to sometimes cause duct obstruction as a side effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anatomy of the Drainage System&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;To understand how a blockage happens, it helps to see how the &quot;plumbing&quot; of the eye works:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; The &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;16&quot;&gt;lacrimal glands&lt;/strong&gt; (located under your upper lids) produce tears to rinse the eye surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Collection:&lt;/strong&gt; Tears enter the &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;28&quot;&gt;puncta&lt;/strong&gt;, the small holes in the inner corners of your upper and lower eyelids.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Transport:&lt;/strong&gt; From the puncta, tears travel through tiny channels called &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;70&quot;&gt;canaliculi&lt;/strong&gt; into the &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;90&quot;&gt;lacrimal sac&lt;/strong&gt; (positioned on the side of your nose).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;6,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Drainage:&lt;/strong&gt; Finally, the fluid moves down the &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;6,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;44&quot;&gt;nasolacrimal duct&lt;/strong&gt; into the nose, where it is naturally reabsorbed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When this flow is interrupted at any of these steps, it backs up, leading to watery, irritated eyes and increased infection risk we discussed earlier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;when-to-see-a-doctor&quot; class=&quot; cmp-title__text--h2&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;When to See a Doctor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;See a healthcare professional if your eye tears constantly for several days or if your eye is infected often or all the time. A blocked tear duct may be caused by a tumor pressing on the tear drainage system. Finding the tumor early can give you more treatment options.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Risk Factors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While a blocked tear duct can happen to anyone, certain factors can make it more likely to occur. These risk factors include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Age:&lt;/strong&gt; As you get older, natural physiological changes can narrow the drainage openings, increasing the chance of an obstruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Chronic Inflammation:&lt;/strong&gt; If your eyes are frequently red, irritated, or inflamed over a long period, the constant stress on the drainage system can lead to a blockage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Surgical History:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have previously undergone surgery on your eyes, eyelids, nose, or sinuses, the resulting scar tissue may eventually interfere with the tear duct system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Glaucoma Treatments:&lt;/strong&gt; Long-term use of topical medications (eye drops) to manage glaucoma is a known risk factor for developing drainage issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,4,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;History of Cancer Treatment:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have undergone chemotherapy or radiation, especially radiation targeted at the head or face&amp;mdash;you are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing a blocked tear duct as a side effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When tears cannot drain properly, the fluid trapped within the drainage system becomes stagnant. This lack of circulation creates an ideal environment for bacteria, viruses, and fungi to grow, which can lead to several issues:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Recurring Infections:&lt;/strong&gt; Stagnant tears frequently result in chronic inflammation and repeated bouts of eye infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Widespread Inflammation:&lt;/strong&gt; A blockage doesn&#39;t just affect the duct itself; it can cause infection or inflammation in any part of the drainage pathway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Conjunctivitis:&lt;/strong&gt; The clear membrane covering the surface of your eye, called the &lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;2,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;80&quot;&gt;conjunctiva&lt;/strong&gt;, is particularly susceptible to becoming irritated or infected due to the backup of fluid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preventions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The best way to lower your risk of developing a blocked tear duct later in life is to treat any eye inflammation or infections as soon as they appear. Since infections are a leading cause of blockages, maintaining good eye hygiene is essential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You can help prevent eye infections by following these daily habits:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;3,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;3,0,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Prioritize Hand Hygiene:&lt;/strong&gt; Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently to keep bacteria away from your face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;3,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;3,1,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Avoid Rubbing:&lt;/strong&gt; Try to keep your hands away from your eyes to prevent irritation or the transfer of germs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;3,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;3,2,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Practice Cosmetic Safety:&lt;/strong&gt; Regularly replace eye makeup like eyeliner and mascara. Most importantly, never share these products with anyone else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-path-to-node=&quot;3,3,0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;3,3,0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Maintain Contact Lenses:&lt;/strong&gt; If you use contacts, strictly follow the cleaning and replacement schedules provided by the manufacturer and your eye care professional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
