Abstract
This prospective interventional case series study was conducted in Cairo University Hospitals in which 20 patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction were included.
The aim of the work was to study the changes in tear meniscus height after transconjunctival dacryocystorhinostomy
All patients underwent the surgery under general anaes-thesia and were performed by highly experienced lacrimal surgeons. Tear meniscus height changes were recorded for six months at least postoperatively.
