  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We examined the bacterial flora in the content of nunchaku-style silicone tube. The tube had been retained in 24 eyes with nasolacrimal duct obstruction for 1 to 15 months, average 6.1 months. Bacterial organism was isolated in 17 tubes (71%) and in the conjunctival sac in 10 eyes (42%). The incidence of bacteria in the tube increased when it had been retained longer than 6 months. The findings show that silicone tubes retained for longer period may induce another infection and that due precaution is necessary regarding this possibility.
