To compare the efficacy of external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and botulinum toxin-A in the management of functional epiphora.A prospective, comparative, interventional study included 45 patients with functional epiphora out of which 20 patients had undergone external dacryocystorhinostomy and 25 patients received 5 units of injection botulinum toxin in the palpebral lobe of lacrimal gland as per the patient’s preference. All patients underwent syringing and fluorescein dye disappearance testing before the procedure. Epiphora was graded subjectively with Munk scores obtained before and after

Abstract Background: There were few reports regarding the incidence of the acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and the incidence in different geography or countries might be alike.

Epiphora is the overflow of tear in the lid margin. It can be due to hyper secretion or inadequate tear drainage. Inadequate drainage of tears may be due to mechanical or physiological causes. Physiological cause is due to lacrimal pump failure or weakness of orbicularis muscle. Mechanical causes are due to obstruction in the lacrimal passages. Evaluation of epiphora can be done by lacrimal syringing, fluoresceine dye disappearance test, Jones dye test, contrast dacryocystography, nuclear lacrimal scintigraphy, CT, MRI etc. Fluoresceine dye test is a non invasive method to study tear flow drai

Abstract:

Background: To report the prevalence of acquired symptomatic external punctal stenosis (EPS) in a tertiary referral center in Kuwait, and to study the associated risk factors, etiologies, and management outcomes. Methods: This prospective interventional hospital-based study was performed at the Farwaniya governmental hospital in Kuwait between November 2018 and November 2019. All patients were referred to the oculoplastic clinic with symptomatic epiphora, age > 18 years, epiphora Munk score ≥ 0, tear film meniscus ≥ 2 mm, and punctum with grade ≤ 2 (smaller than normal size, but recog

Abstract:

Purpose: Botulinum toxin (BoNTA) lacrimal gland injections are one treatment option for managing epiphora. Outcomes for epiphora in existing studies are subjective and lack grading. This study utilized validated grading instruments to evaluate the efficacy of BoNTA lacrimal gland injections. Methods: Prospective study evaluating the TEARS score and quality of life in patients receiving incobotulinum toxin (Xeomin) lacrimal gland injections for epiphora. Epiphora was graded using the TEARS score. Quality of life was evaluated using the watery eye quality of life score. Etiology, benefit duratio

Abstract:

AIM: To review the success rates and complications of interventions for functional epiphora in adults. METHODS: A systematic review of English-language articles from the electronic databases PubMed, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar. The primary outcome was subjective resolution or improvement of epiphora symptoms. Secondary outcomes were treatment-related adverse events. Subjects above 18 years of age who underwent surgical or non-surgical treatment for functional epiphora (exhibited symptoms of epiphora with a patent lacrimal system) were included. Articles were excluded if they were 1) case report

Abstract:

Background: Anti-glaucoma eye drops have been investigated due to their production of fibrotic changes on the conjunctival surface, undermining the functioning of the upper lacrimal drainage system. We aimed to assess whether these effects may impair the effectiveness of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EE-DCR). Methods: This is a single-center observational retrospective study on EE-DCR via a posterior approach. Resolution of epiphora and dacryocystitis were analyzed after 1 (T1) and 6-months (T2) from surgery. Surgical success was defined as anatomical (patency at irrigation, no r

Abstract:

Aim: To evaluate the outcomes of cases with epiphora due to punctal stenosis, in which intubation was performed using a 22-gauge (G) intracath in combination with the two-snip or three-snip technique. Materials and Methods:The study included 45 eyes of 23 patients with punctal stenosis who presented to our clinic with epiphora. The severity of punctal stenosis in all cases was graded according to the Kashkouli classification; 32 eyes (71.1%) were graded as grade 1, and 13 eyes (28.9%) as grade 2. Epiphora was confirmed using the fluorescein disappearance test. Lacrimal system lavage was perfor
