Abstract Purpose: To report the outcome of treatment for nasolacrimal obstruction using diode laser through the lacrimal punctum.

Case and Method: This retrospective study was made on 42 cases of nasolacrimal obstruction. The series comprised 10 males and 32 females. The age averaged 62 years. Dacryocystorhinostomy was performed using a diode laser with the wavelength of 920 nm.

Results: After follow-up for one year or longer, 27 cases(64%)showed patent lacrimal passage with decreased discharge or epiphora. Comparison of outcome during the initial and latter 3 years showed a better outcome during the letter. Canaliculr obstruction developed in 5 cases(12%).

Conclusion: Use of diobe laser for the treatment of nasolacrimal obstruction is characterized by low invasion. It was effective in 64% of cases of nasolacrimal obstruction in adults. Improvements are needed in the handling of laser including duration of irradiation.
