Abstract:
A modified Jones tube was designed and this new model was implanted in 33 cases with severe canalicular or common canalicular obstruction. The tube, with a length of 24 mm, has a 130 degree angulation in the middle. The insertion of this Jones tube can be performed with or without dacryocystorhinostomy. Despite some problems in the beginning, the results seem to be very promising, with a 80% success rate.
