Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Detect anatomical level of acquired lacrimal passage obstructions among patients with epiphora. They were evaluated and divided into four groups Punctal, Canalicular, Nasolacrimal duct and Mixed groups according to level of obstruction

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In a 3 years period adult patients with obstructive epiphora were evaluated clinically by Probing /irrigation of lacrimal passages to detect anatomical level of obstruction.

The main site of obstruction was the common canaliculus where 2/3 of patients had canalicular problems. The second common site of obstruction is nasolacrimal duct followed by the puncti.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Epiphora

Adult patients suffering from watering of the eye included in the study to detect level of obstruction

Probing /irrigation of lacrimal passages

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Probing of the lacrimal passage was done using #00 Bowman's lacrimal probe which can reveal any narrowing (resistance) or obstruction (soft stop) of the canaliculi during its advancement from punctum towards the lacrimal sac.
