Abstract

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common problem in neonates that can result in epiphora, superimposed infection, or amblyopia. The aim of this review was to examine causes and current management of this problem in the pediatric population. Before 1 year of age, a conservative approach with the help of the parents is preferred. Afterwards, an interventional approach is recommended to overcome obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct
