Indian survey on practice patterns of lacrimal & eyelid disorders (iSUPPLE): Report 3 - Cataract and nasolacrimal duct obstruction

There is a general agreement on the need for pre-cataract screening for NLDO and a majority indicated that checking for ROPLAS was sufficient. Most surgeons prefer to perform a DCR in cases of NLDO and wait for 4 weeks before intraocular surgery. There is however, a lacuna in the literature on guidelines regarding the optimal interval between lacrimal surgery and subsequent intraocular surgery.
