Nasolacrimal duct office probing in children under the age of 12 months: Cure rate and cost evaluation.

Introduction: Controversy exists regarding the treatment of infants with symptomatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction. One philosophy advocates "early" nasolacrimal duct probing, generally in the office - a relatively common approach in France, while others prefer to wait until the age of 12 months to offer a procedure under general anesthesia. The goal of this study is to report results of immediate office probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) under age 1 year in terms of efficacy and cost.
