The investigation of epiphora
Abstract:
The investigation and management of a patient with a tearing problem demands evaluation of the lacrimal passages by syringing and intubation macrodacryocystography with subtraction prints. Data regarding function can be provided by a nuclear lacrimal scan and computer assisted scintillography. We describe our experience with 163 patients.

01:22Microbiome of the Eye
The human eye has a specialized microbiota that reflects its unique anatomical and immunological environment. This low-biomass microbial community predominantly colonizes the conjunctiva and eyelid margins, playing a vital role in ocular surface homeostasis and defense. Despite its proximity to the richly colonized facial skin, the ocular surface maintains a distinct microbial profile due to continuous mechanical and biochemical defense mechanisms.The conjunctival surface hosts fewer microbial...
