Abstract:

The article summarizes the results of research conducted over the past decade concerning the current problems of dacryology, analyzes the improvements made to the methods of diagnostics used in disorders of lacrimal passages on the basis of modern imaging and functional studies, describes the techniques aimed at improving the clinical effectiveness of the intervention, as well as drug and non-drug methods of intraoperative prevention of excessive scarring in the area of the artificial ostium. The article also analyzes the experience of using balloon dacryoplasty in relapses of tear duct obstruction after dacryocystorhinostomy, and presents the modern minimally invasive surgical techniques, including nasolacrimal duct intubation, as well as balloon dacryoplasty and endoscopic plastic surgery of the ostium of the nasolacrimal duct. Additionally, the work lists the fundamental and applied tasks of dacryology and outlines promising directions of its development.
