Mine isn't the tear duct that's blocked - it's an oil gland in the upper eyelid. Never even knew there were such things in the eyelid, but I sure know now! But they will do "something" to the tear ducts if I have to have the procedure - supposed to increase the natural tears somehow, even tho those aren't blocked. This is an ongoing education for me!
They will most likely put something in them to plug them up. My Dad also has very dry eyes so he had plugs put in his tear ducts. I think he also still uses some kind of over the counter moisture drops too. I have the opposite problem of too many tears.
