Abstract

An investigation was conducted into the efficacy of probing syringing the blocked nasolacrimal ducts (NLD) in adults with epiphora. It was done under local anaesthesia. Watering improved subjectively in 42% of the cases after a single procedure. This improvement was seen in only 16% in cases with mucocele and not in cases with pus regurgitation.
