Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  0.02 percent MITOMYCIN C   To evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy of 0.02 % MITOMYCIN C irrigation after probing of nasolacrimal duct in maintaining patency in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction .  
Intervention  0.04 percent MITOMYCIN C   To evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy of 0.04% MITOMYCIN C irrigation after probing of nasolacrimal duct in maintaining patency in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction and comparing it with 0.02% MITOMYCIN C in maintaining patency . After primary evaluation and syringing to confirm obstruction of nasolacrimal duct, probing is done under topical anesthesia in minor OT. Procedure will be completed in 15 to 20 minutes . Post operative topical steroid drops in tapering doses, antibiotic eye drops , nasal decongestants are prescribed for 6 weeks . After probing patients are followed up at 1 week , 4 weeks , 3 months , 6 months .

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This is a prospective  randomized interventional study to compare the efficacy of 0.02% mitomycin c with 0.04% mitomycin c in adults with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction .
 The  current treatment modality of  dacryocystorhinostomy to bypass the obstructed  nasolacrimal duct has excellent outcomes  . However ,  probing of nasolacrimal duct  with mitomycin c  offers an easy, effective  and safe  substitute to patients who are poor surgical candidates , elderly patients , patients who do not wish to undergo surgery  , for buying time for surgery . 
 Goal  is to find which concentration of mitomycin c offers more effective improvement in patients symptoms with less to no side effects .
