A preliminary study on the clinical characteristics of lacrimal duct obstruction in patients with a history of anterior uveitis
In patients with a history of AU, LDO predominantly affects the proximal lacrimal structures, often resulting in severe adhesions and poor surgical outcomes, with a cure rate of only 20%. The temporal link between epiphora and AU onset suggests shared pathophysiology. Targeted research is critical to clarify AU-LDO mechanisms and optimize prevention.
