Abstract

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intraoperative mitomycin C(MMC) and TobraDex ophthalmic ointment(TDO) in transcanalicular Nd:YAG laser assisted dacryocystoplasty(LDCL). Methods A total of 204 patients (246 eyes) with lacrimal duct obstruction were divided into four groups: group treated with MMC, group treated with TDO, group treated with MCC plus TDO and control. Prospective control study was conducted. Results The healing rates of three drug groups were 88.7%, 88.6%, 89.5%, respectively, significantly higher than that of the control group (73.1) ( P 0.05). Conclusion MMC or MCC combined with TDO is effective on patients treated with LDCL.
