Background/aims: Although a Jones tube is considered the mainstay for epiphora in patients with total blockage of the canalicular system, it has been discouraged in children for reasons of inadequate self-care and maintenance. The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term outcome of Jones tube surgery in paediatric versus adult patients.
Methods: Retrospective, interventional case series of a single academic institution.
Aim: To analyse the long-term outcome of lacrimal bypass surgery with an angled extended Jones' tube.
Design: Retrospective, non-comparative, non-interventional case series.
Methods: Seventy-one patients who underwent transcaruncular insertion of an angled extended Jones' tube between 1995 and 2005 were followed up over a median period of 8.
