Conjunctival bacterial flora in fellow eyes of patients with unilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction and its changes after successful dacryocystorhinostomy surgery
2017, Journal of Current OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is a major clinical problem in ophthalmic practice.1,2 Apart from disturbing symptoms, NLDO causes a major shift in the composition of the conjunctival residing flora and overgrowth of normal and pathologic bacteria.3–9 The risk of postoperative endophthalmitis increases in eyes with dacryocystitis, and the intraocular surgery should be postponed until relief of obstruction10–12. Previous studies have shown that a waiting period of several weeks is needed before normalization of the conjunctival flora after successful dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery in eyes with NLDO.13,14
