Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
the change of ocular normal flora in patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction as a comparison to general population.
as the literature suggests most of the ocular flora is composed of Staphylococcus and Haemophilus, any change in these composition will be considered abnormal.
6 month
Eligibility Criteria
30 patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction and 30 healthy patients
You may qualify if:

You may not qualify if:
- younger then 18 years of age
- ocular infections
- patients after repair of lacrimal duct surgery
- systemic active diseases
