Amblyopia Risk Factors in Newborns With Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the presence of amblyopia risk factors in newborns with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) and age-matched healthy control subjects. Methods: This retrospective case-control study involved newborns aged 30 to 60 days with CNLDO and age-matched healthy control subjects. Amblyopia risk factors were identified in accordance with the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Vision Screening Commit… Show more

“…Children with CNLDO have a higher prevalence of anisometropia and amblyopia. 6 Although acute Dacrocystitis very rare, it mostly resolves with topical and systemic antibiotics Parents may also complain that the eye looks smaller, basically due to excessive watering or superadded infection. CNLDO, besides being an ocular problem, is also very disturbing for the children and their parents psycholo-gically and socially.…”

“…Several authors have confirmed an increased risk for anisometropia and amblyopia in patients with CNLDO (especially long-term untreated obstructions) [22][23][24][25]. However, the effect of long-term epiphora on visual development in children is debatable and some studies reported no significant differences between children with CNLDO and general population [17,26,27].…”

“…Egyes tanulmányok szerint elhanyagolt vagy fel nem ismert esetben hosszú távon irreguláris astigmiához, illetve tompalátás kialakulásához vezethet a szemrésben megrekedt könny, hiszen sokszor a látásfejlődés legérzékenyebb időszakában változtathatja meg a fénytörést a magas könnytócsa [3][4][5][6][7]. Mások azonban megkérdőjelezik az epiphora okozta deprivatiós amblyopia kialakulásának lehetőségét, mivel a korban megfelelő átlagpopulációhoz képest a könnyező páciensek között nem találtak nagyobb arányban tompalátókat [8,9].…”
