Methods: An Open Level Randomized Clinical Trial study was conducted from july 2015 to Jan 2017 with 100 diagnosed cases of chronic dacryocystitis were enrolled for the study. All patients were examined and samples were taken from lacrimal regurgitates. Samples were examined for Gram stain and culture and sensitivity. Results: A sum total of 100 patients were included in the study among them most of them were females (52%) compared to males (48%). Among all the examined samples 20 % showed growth, rest 80 % samples did not show any growth. Among all positive growth, Staphylococcus aureus encountered as the commonest isolate (60%) followed by Staphylococcus epidermis (25%). All the gram positive organisms found to be sensitive towards vancomycin and fluroquinolones.
