Abstract. Purpose:To report the incidence and site of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in patients prior to cataract surgery. Cases and Method:This retrospective study was made on 1,089 sites of 735 patients who received cataract surgery in the past 2 years. The series comprised 324 males and 411 females. The age ranged from 20 to 95 years, with 76 years as the median. All the cases were examined for passage of water through the nasolacrimal duct. Surgical reconstruction of lacrimal passage was performed whenever necessary. Results:Obstruction of nasolacrimal duct was present in 46 out of 735 cases(6.3%), or in 63 out of 1,089 sites(5.8%). By nasal endoscopy, nasolacrimal duct obstruction was present in 47 out of 1,076 sites(4.4%), of which asymptomastic dacryocystitis was present in 5 sites(0.46%). Conclusion:The present series shows the presence of asymptomatic dacryocystitis in patients scheduled for cataract surgery. Water passage test by syringing facilitates the detection of such cases.
