The association of cosmetic-related lacrimal sac black deposits with primary-acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction and dry eye disease

PURPOSE: To determine the incidence of cosmetic-related lacrimal sac black deposits (LSBDs) in primary-acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) biopsies and the role of LSBD in the pathogenesis of PANDO, in addition to their association with dry eye disease (DED). METHODS: A clinicopathologica...

Description
Summary:PURPOSE: To determine the incidence of cosmetic-related lacrimal sac black deposits (LSBDs) in primary-acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) biopsies and the role of LSBD in the pathogenesis of PANDO, in addition to their association with dry eye disease (DED). METHODS: A clinicopathological study included all patients who underwent surgical management of PANDO. We excluded patients in whom lacrimal sac biopsy was not taken during the surgery. Lacrimal sac tissues were evaluated for the presence of LSBD and related inflammation, with correlation to the demographics, clinical presentation, and pre-operative clinical assessment of dry eye. P
