πŸ‘οΈ LACRIMAL APPARATUS SERIES .

⭐ LACRIMAL PROBING
πŸ” What is Lacrimal Probing?
Lacrimal probing is a procedure used to assess the puncta, canaliculi, and lacrimal drainage pathway and, in selected cases, to mechanically open a stenotic or obstructed segment.

🎯 INDICATIONS
βœ… Punctal stenosis
βœ… Canalicular stenosis or obstruction
βœ… Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) when symptoms persist despite conservative management
βœ… Persistent epiphora when obstruction is suspected
βœ… Assessment/localization of a mechanical obstruction

πŸ”¬ BASIC PROCEDURE

1️⃣ Punctal dilation
The punctum is gently dilated.

2️⃣ Probe insertion
A lacrimal probe is introduced through the punctum and canaliculus.

3️⃣ Assessment
The pathway is assessed for stenosis, obstruction, or a hard stop.

4️⃣ Irrigation
Syringing may be performed to assess drainage patency.

πŸ‘Ά IN CONGENITAL NLDO
The common problem is failure of canalization at the valve of Hasner.
If persistent, probing may be considered according to the child's age, symptoms, and ophthalmologist's assessment.

⚠️ IMPORTANT
Lacrimal probing is an invasive procedure and should be performed by a trained eye-care professional using appropriate sterile techniques.

πŸ’Ž CLINICAL PEARL
Probing helps assess the anatomy of the lacrimal drainage pathway and may relieve certain mechanical obstructions.

πŸ”‘ EASY FLOW

πŸ‘οΈ LACRIMAL SYRINGING / IRRIGATION

Indications of Lacrimal Syringing
Lacrimal syringing (irrigation) is performed to assess the patency of the lacrimal drainage system and, in selected cases, to help localize an obstruction.

πŸ” MAIN INDICATIONS
1. πŸ’§ Epiphora (Watering Eye)

To investigate suspected lacrimal drainage obstruction.

2. 🚫 Suspected Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (NLDO)
Helps assess whether the nasolacrimal pathway is patent.

3. πŸ”Ž Punctal or Canalicular Obstruction
Helps evaluate obstruction or stenosis of the proximal drainage system.

4. 🦠 Recurrent Dacryocystitis
May be performed as part of evaluation of the lacrimal drainage system.

5. 🩺 Pre-operative Assessment
Used when assessing patients before procedures such as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).

6. πŸ”„ Post-operative Assessment.

Can be used to assess lacrimal drainage patency after selected lacrimal procedures.

πŸ’‘ WHAT DOES THE RESULT TELL US?
πŸ’§ Free flow into the nose β†’ Patent drainage pathway
↩️ Reflux through the same punctum β†’ Possible canalicular/punctal obstruction
↩️ Reflux through the opposite punctum β†’ Possible obstruction distal to the common canaliculus
⚠️ No flow into the nose with reflux β†’ Obstruction may be present.

πŸ’Ž CLINICAL PEARL
Lacrimal syringing is primarily a test of lacrimal drainage patencyβ€”not simply a test for β€œwatering.”.

πŸ”‘ EASY TO REMEMBER
Watering β†’ Suspect obstruction β†’ Syringing β†’ Assess patency β†’ Localize obstruction.

πŸ‘οΈ REGURGITATION TEST (ROPLAS)

What is the Regurgitation Test?

Regurgitation on Pressure over the Lacrimal Sac (ROPLAS) is a simple clinical test used to assess lacrimal sac disease, particularly dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal drainage obstruction.

πŸ” How is it performed?
Ask the patient to look straight ahead.
Apply gentle pressure over the lacrimal sac area, just below the medial canthus.
Observe the puncta for any reflux/regurgitation.
Note the character of the material coming through the punctum.

πŸ’§ Positive ROPLAS
Regurgitation of mucous or mucopurulent material through the punctum suggests a distended/infected lacrimal sac and is strongly suggestive of chronic dacryocystitis with nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

❌ Negative ROPLAS
No regurgitation is seen.
However, a negative test does not completely exclude lacrimal drainage obstruction.

πŸ’Ž Clinical Pearl
Pressure over the lacrimal sac + mucopurulent reflux through the punctum = positive ROPLAS.

πŸ”‘ Easy to Remember
ROPLAS = Press the lacrimal Sac β†’ Look at the Punctum β†’ Check for Regurgitation.

πŸ‘οΈ WATERING EYE (EPIPHORA)

Tests to Evaluate a Case of Watering Eye
Epiphora may result from excessive tear production or, more commonly, problems with tear drainage. Evaluation therefore aims to determine whether the drainage system is patent and where an obstruction may be present.

πŸ” KEY TESTS
1. Fluorescein Dye Disappearance Test (FDDT) πŸ’§
A simple screening test for delayed tear drainage. Persistent fluorescein after about 5 minutes suggests impaired lacrimal outflow.

2. Jones I Test πŸ§ͺ
Assesses whether fluorescein reaches the nasal cavity through the lacrimal drainage system.

3. Jones II Test πŸ”¬
Performed when Jones I is negative; helps assess whether dye can reach the nose after irrigation. Jones testing is now used less commonly than other methods.

4. Lacrimal Probing & Syringing/Irrigation πŸ’‰
Helps assess patency and localize obstruction within the punctum, canaliculi, lacrimal sac, or nasolacrimal duct.

5. Dacryocystography (DCG) 🩻
Contrast imaging can demonstrate the anatomical site of lacrimal drainage obstruction.

6. Nasal Endoscopy πŸ‘ƒ
Useful for evaluating the nasal end of the nasolacrimal duct and associated nasal abnormalities.
