All children were under 2 years of age. The main outcome was successful probing. Successful probing was defined as a complete resolution of signs and symptoms.Results: The mean age of the patients was 16.4 &plusmn; 4.1 months (range 8&ndash;24 months) in group A and 16.8 &plusmn; 4.2 months (range 7&ndash;24 months) in group B. No canalicular or nasolacrimal sac pathologies were diagnosed during probing. The success rate was 76.2% (32/42) in group A and 91.4% (117/128) in group B. The difference was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.01).Conclusion: Manually curved probes can be used efficiently during probing and increase the success rates.Keywords: nasolacrimal duct obstruction, success rate, curved Bowman probe, &lt;2-year-old childrenSerin DButtanri IBSevim MSButtanri BDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2013, Iss default, Pp 109-112 (2013)
