Lacrimal

To identify the most common route of infection in cases of chronic Dacrysocystitis.

Canalicular lacerations are breaks(interruptions) in normal tear drainage system involving medial part of eyelid. Eyelid injuries occur commonly as a result of blunt or sharp peri-ocular injuries and may involve canalicular lacerations especially when medial canthal region is affected.

Canaliculitis is a rare infection of the canaliculus, which accounts for 2% of all lacrimal diseases1. It is often misdiagnosed as chronic conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis, chronic blepharitis,chalazion despite classic clinical findings like inflamed medial canthus, pouting puncta, mucopurulent discharge or concretions on expression from the canaliclus. Therefore, it has a longer and a chronic course2.

To compare and evaluate the applicability of Keratograph corneal topographer for the diagnosis of dry eye with conventional methods.

Stenosis of lacrimal punctum has numerous causes, including infection with herpes simplex, herpes zoster, chlamydia, actinomyces & HPV.

Canalicular lacerations are a common injury of the canalicular system. The key step during surgery for the treatment of canalicular laceration is to identify the site of trauma to the canaliculi.

To study outcomes of Botulinum Toxin A (BonTA) injections into the Lacrimal Gland (LG) in cases of epiphora and hyper-lacrimation.

Prospective interventional institutional study of 80 punctae of 40 asymptomatic adults. AS OCT of lower punctum and vertical canaliculus was done to record shape, content, angle of medial and lateral wall of punctum, maximal outer and inner punctal diameter and depth.

To compare the outcomes of external DCR in children between 6 – 12 years of age without intubation (A), with Jones tube intubation (B) or with Silicone tube intubation (C).
