Silicone intubation for congenital obstruction of nasolacrimal ducts
Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol.

Abstract
In children aged 3 months or older lacrimal probing was performed to cure nasolacrimal duct obstructions. In 56 cases where this procedure failed a silicone tube was inserted. The results were favourable in 47 cases. Children with facial malformations and those with a narrow nasolacrimal duct however proved to be poor candidates for silicone tube insertion.
