Balancing early and late surgical intervention for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction
This retrospective study investigated the incidence of anisometropia and amblyopia by age of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) resolution. At Seattle children’s hospital, between 2007 and 2017, the outcomes of children with early versus late spontaneous resolution of CNLDO were...Do steroids prevent progression to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)?
