| pubmed-article:7661751 | pubmed:abstractText | Controversy exists regarding the treatment of infants with symptomatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction. One philosophy advocates "early" nasolacrimal duct probing, generally in the office. An alternate strategy advocates medical management until the infant is approximately 12 months old to allow for spontaneous resolution, with those with persistent nasolacrimal duct obstruction usually treated by "late" probing in the hospital with the use of general anesthesia. | lld:pubmed |
