Abstract

Balloon dacryoplasty is a minimally invasive technique for treating various conditions of lacrimal drainage system like partial & complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction in adults, primary DCR, revision DCR and for ostium dilatation [5]. Currently, the most common use of Balloon dacryoplasty is seen inselective cases of CNLDO. In adults its widespread acceptance still remains poor due to the high cost of LacriCATH and uncertainty of long-term results. This chapter describes balloon dacryoplasty in various lacrimal conditions using coronary angioplasty balloon catheters which is a, safe, reliable and cost effectionalternative.
