Abstract
Forty-eight children aged from 4 to 11 months, affected by Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (CNDO), treated successfully by local hydrostatic massage, were retrospectively included in two groups: Group A treated by massage and antibiotic eye drops, Group B treated by massage only. The comparison shows a quicker resolution of the CNDO when antibiotic eye drops are administered. The Author stresses the utility of topical antibiotic therapy regardless of the presence of mucopurulent discharge.Pubblicazioni consigliate
