One hundred thirty seven patients participated in the study, whose mean age was 56.1 (?15) with a range from 34 to 81 years.22 (16%) of the patients were males and 115 (84%) females p <0.05). Five (3.6%) of total patients experienced a relapse while the success rate 96.4%. The success rate is 3.6 times higher external dacriocystorhinostomy as compared to patients treated without this technique (OR=3.6, 95%CI 1.46- 8.62, p<0.01). External DCR with silicone intubation has a high success rate. Disorders of the lacrimal system can be diagnosed from the history, signs symptoms, clinical examination, lab studies, imaging studies and other tests
