Comparative study of surgical outcomes regarding tear meniscus area and high-order aberrations between two different interventional methods for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction

PURPOSE: To compare endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR) with sheath-guided dacryoendoscopic probing and bicanalicular intubation (SG-BCI) by evaluating tear meniscus area (TMA) and total high-order aberrations (HOAs) for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO).

METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed 56 eyes of 42 patients (7 men, 35 women; age, 72.7±13.1 years) who underwent EN-DCR or SG-BCI for PANDO in Toyama University Hospital from February 2020 to June 2022. In the EN-DCR and SG-BCI groups, we measured the patency of the lacrimal passage, preoperative and postoperative TMA, and HOAs of the central 4 mm of the cornea using optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), six months postoperatively.

RESULTS: There was a positive correlation between preoperative TMA and preoperative HOAs in all cases. Postoperative patency of lacrimal passage was 100% in the EN-DCR and 80.8% in the SG-BCI group. There was a significant difference in the number of passages between the two groups (p = 0.01). Preoperative TMA and HOAs showed a significant postoperative decrease in both groups (EN-DCR group: p<0.01, p<0.01, SG-BCI group: p<0.01, p=0.03, respectively). We then calculated the rate of change of preoperative and postoperative TMA and HOAs and compared them between the two groups. The rate of change was significantly higher in the EN-DCR group than that in the SG-BCI group (TMA, p=0.03; HOAs, p=0.02).

CONCLUSION: Although both EN-DCR and SG-BCI are effective for PANDO, our results suggest that EN-DCR is more effective in improving TMA and HOAs.
