Minimally Invasive Lacrimal Duct By-Pass Surgery

Authors: Mohammad Idrees

Abstract: Primary and secondary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (where applicable) in adults is the main indication of performing this procedure especially when epiphora is interfering with the daily living activities of a patient. When there is a complete or partial obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct causing epiphora, it may cause skin excoriation, visual impairment, social embarrassment, chronic ocular discharge and acute or chronic dacryocystitis.
