Quality of Vision in Eyes with Chronic Dacryocystitis After Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy.

To assess the quality of vision (QOV) of patients with chronic dacryocystitis and explore the impact of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) on patients' QOV, with the aim of increasing clinicians' attention to the potential QOV changes in patients with chronic dacryocystitis. Chronic dacryocystitis patients who attended the Department of Oculoplastics, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2022 to June 2022 and had En-DCR were included. The QOV was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively using the Quick-contrast sensitivity function test (qCSF) and the OPD ScanIII comprehensive visual quality analyser, and the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), higher-order aberrations (HOAs), and modulation transfer function (MTF) data were recorded. Thirty-eight patients with chronic dacryocystitis were included. QOV analysis of those with monocular chronic dacryocystitis revealed that HOAs were significantly higher in affected eyes than in contralateral eyes ( Chronic dacryocystitis can significantly affect the QOV of patients. Successful En-DCR significantly improves the CSF, HOAs and MTF, which can effectively improve the QOV.
