Abstract. Purpose:To report the treatment of epiphora by inserting a probe attached to nunchaku-type silicone tube into the lacrimal canaliculus. Cases and Method:This study was made on 60 sides of 50 cases who presented with epiphora without lacrimal duct obstruction. The series comprised 12 males and 38 females. The age ranged from 52 to 88 years,average 73 years. The silicone tube was inserted through the lower lacrimal punctum to reach the lacrimal sac. The probe was then gently pushed forward and back a few times before removed. Results:The probe could not be inserted to reach the lacrimal sac in 6 sides. Three sides showed mild hemorrhage during manipulation. No serious complications,including bypass formation,were present throughout. The treatment was effective in 31 out of 36 sides after follow-up for one month or longer. Conclusion:Enlargement of lacrimal canaliculus using the silicone tube may prove as an effective means in the treatment of epiphora.
