Presence of epiphora two weeks after phacoemulsification was infrequent, despite being present in a high proportion of patients before surgery. There was not a noticeable increase in epiphora at three months. The most frequently related factors were mixed disorders of the ocular surface and lacrimal system, without an important incidence of unctual and canalicular stenosis. We consider that our perception about complaints from patients after phacoemulsification may be biased due to those who had previously suffered from epiphora.
