Abstract
Forty patients who were operated upon for chronic dacryocystitis six months to two years before
presented with history of persistent watering and discharge. Repeat DCR with silicone tube intubation
was performed in all the patients. Post-operative follow-up for a period of 12-18 months revealed
absence of symptoms in 38 patients while 2 patients persisted with watering and discharge despite
uncomplicated surgical procedure.
