Advancements in imaging technologies like high-resolution ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography are enhancing the accuracy and precision of dacryocystitis diagnosis. These sophisticated imaging methods allow medical professionals to visualize the lacrimal drainage system, detect anatomical irregularities or blockages, leading to prompt identification and treatment of dacryocystitis.
Rising concerns about antibiotic resistance has resulted into an increased focus on antibiotic stewardship in the treatment of dacryocystitis. Medical practitioners are implementing strategies to optimize antibiotic usage, including targeted antibiotic therapy based on microbial culture and sensitivity testing, shorter treatment periods, and combination therapy as per the requirements.
