The authors report a case of lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital syndrome in a 16-month-old boy with punctal agenesis, upper canalicular dysgenesis and polydactyly, presenting as bilateral congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and unilateral acute dacryocystitis. Genetic sequencing revealed a novel mutation in fibroblast growth factor 10. .

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoluminal lacrimal duct recanalization (ELDR) with intubation using dacryoendoscopy for secondary acquired lacrimal duct obstruction (SALDO) following epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) in children.
Study Design: Prospective observational study.
Methods: We included 27 pediatric patients with EKC-derived SALDO between 2013 and 2023.

Background: The pre-lacrimal window (PLW) approach is a promising technique for accessing otherwise inaccessible maxillary sinus lesions. The objective of this study was to determine the computed tomography (CT) dimensions, measurements, and grading of the PLW.
Methods: One hundred paranasal CT scans were included in the study.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a novel shape-memory Bi-hook device in facilitating antegrade stent implantation for canalicular laceration repair.
Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 76 patients (76 eyes) with canalicular laceration were enrolled: 39 patients (39 eyes) underwent Bi-hook-assisted stent implantation (Bi-hook group) and 37 patients received conventional Ritleng stent intubation (control group). The Bi-hook device was fabricated using a thermally shaped 0.

Purpose: To assess the impact of external dacryocystorhinostomy (EXT-DCR) on optical quality in patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) by evaluating changes in corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and key optical quality parameters, including modulation transfer function (MTF) and point spread function (PSF).
Methods: This retrospective study included 26 eyes of 26 patients who underwent unilateral EXT-DCR for PANDO. Preoperative and 6-month postoperative assessments included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), and epiphora severity (Munk score, fluorescein dye disappearance test [FDDT]).
