Abstract

Dacryoendoscopy is a procedure utilizing microendoscopic techniques to visualize the entire lacrimal system from the puncta to the inferior meatus [1–5]. It is gaining firm ground and increasing popularity for expanding indications in lacrimal disorders, thus having many diagnostic and potential therapeutic implications [1–5]. The dacryoendoscope has a thin, rigid fiber endoscope and a side port on the handpiece. The rigid fiber endoscope is attached to the eyepiece through a fiber-optic cable. The eyepiece of the dacryoendoscope is connected to the camera head and secured. The camera head is then connected to the endoscopic viewing system.
