Journal Title: Guoji Yanke Zazhi - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 10
Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of retrograde lacrimal intubation combined tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment on the treatment of adult nasolacrimal duct obstruction.<p>METHODS: During May 2012 to November 2016, a total of 46 eyes of 34 cases with nasolacrimal duct obstruction were treated with lacrimal intubation combined tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment. The postoperative follow-up was 6-18mo to observe the treatment effect and complications.<p>RESULTS: The patients were successfully treated with lacrimal intubation and tube was drawn out 2-3mo after operation. Treatment was succeed in 39(85%)eyes. Functional improvement was achieved in 5 eyes(11%). Relapse occurred in 2 eyes(4%).
