Patients with previous EX-DCR, facial trauma history, or under 18 years old were excluded.
75% of the patients were female, with an average age of 55.8 years.
44 patients experienced seasonal attacks, with 18.2% in October and 15.9% in July.
88.6% of the 39 patients who underwent EX-DCR reported no epiphora post-surgery.
