Abstract
Inflammation of the lacrimal sac is known as dacryocystitis which usually occurs due to obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct. It is a significant cause of ocular morbidity in children and adults. It can be congenital or acquired. Acquired dacryocystitis can occur as acute and chronic dacryocystitis. Dacryocystitis is mostly caused by bacteria and rarely by fungi. There is a change in etiological agents causing dacryocystitis over the time. Hence this study was undertaken to know the etiological agents of congenital, acute and chronic dacryocystitis Microbial culture and sensitivity should be performed in all dacryocystitis cases. This would contribute to the choice of appropriate and effective antimicrobial agents
