Abstract

Objective observe the efficiency of artificial nasolacrimal duct implants for the treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction and evaluate the clinical use of its value.Methods Of 68 cases(76 eyes)with nasolacrimal duct obstruction and chronic dacryocystitis patients received artificial nasolacrimal duct implantation followed by retrograde expansion and its efficacy was analyzed.Results All 76 eyes were successfully implanted with artificial nasolacrimal duct,follow-up for 6-12 months,with a total effective rate was 97.3%.Conclusions The artificial nasolacrimal duct implantation operation is a simple,safe and effective with minimally invasive new treatment method for lacrimal duct obstruction,moreover it does not change the original anatomical structure,and the patient can tolerate well.
