Drainage Of An Infected Tear Gland

Oregon rates for HCPCS 68400

An infected, swollen tear gland at the outer part of the upper eyelid is opened through a small incision so trapped pus can drain out. Releasing the collection relieves pain and swelling and lets antibiotics work. The site is usually left to keep draining for a short period afterwards.
