Abstract

Previously published research suggested that children with nasolacrimal duct obstruction and amblyopia risk factors on initial examination often develop clinical amblyopia. The present study reports the incidence of clinical amblyopia in children presenting with nasolacrimal duct obstruction but no amblyopia risk factors.
