Abstract

Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy is a much maligned procedure, and there are widely varying opinions about its efficacy and long-term success. We present our modification of the procedure used in 38 eyes of 29 patients over 10 years, with an average follow-up of 2.5 years, which has resulted in a very high rate of success.
