Abstract. Purpose:To report the design and outcome of a new lacrimal probe in the treatment of neonatal dacryocystitis. Cases and Method:This study was made on 5 eyes of 4 male neonates who were admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU). The age ranged from 29 to 35 days. The nasolacrimal duct was inserted by a newly designed 27-guage lacrimal probe of 26 to 28 mm in length. Results:The lacrimal probe could be inserted without incision or enlargement of the punctum. The nasolacrimal passage became patent by inserting the probe for 16 to 21 mm. Culture of the content of lacrimal sac showed resistant strains of microorganisms including fungus and MRSA. Dacryocystitis started to improve on day 2 of treatment. Complications were absent throughout. Conclusion:Our newly designed lacrimal probe was effective for persistent neonatal dacryocystitis.
