Purpose:

To evaluate the results of conjunctival culture in fellow eyes of patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) and its changes after successful dacryocystorhinostomy surgery

Methods:

71 adult patients with unilateral NLDO and 41 age- and sex-matched controls without NLDO were evaluated.Dacryocystorhinostomy surgery was performed.Before surgery, microbiologic specimens were taken from the conjunctiva of fellow eyes. Postoperative conjunctival sampling was continued weekly until the culture became negative or the colony count reached to the range of the control group.

Results:

The culture was positive for bacterial growth in 57 fellow eyes of patients. The conjunctival culture in the control group was positive in 17 eyes (41.4%). . Pathogenic bacterial growth and higher colony counts were significantly associated with longer normalization time for fellow eye (p = 0.000, p = 0.000, respectively).

Conclusion:

after successful dacryocystorhinostomy surgery, a waiting period of 4 weeks is needed for conjunctival bacterial cultures to become negative or reach the level of the normal eyes
