To determine the age, symptoms, duration of symtomps, site of eye, day of hospital stay, and success rate in nasolacrimal duct obstruction at Takuapa Hospital.This is a retrospective descriptive study. The author reviewed medical records of all nasolacrimal duct obstruction patients treated at Takuapa Hospital from December 2012 to December 2016.During the study period, 47 nasolacrimal duct obstruction patients were treatedwith endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy at Takuapa Hospital. All patients were male 11 patientsfemale 36 patients. The common age group was 70-80 years old (13 patients, 27.66%). Most patients came with epiphora. Duration of symptom was more than 1 week (38 patients, 80.85%). The site of eye was found almost equally in both sides with post sac obstruction. Duration of hospital stay about 3 days. Success rate was 91.49% with 4 patients failure surgery. Risk factor of surgical outcome was duration of symptom and technique of surgery (mucosal flap, microdebrider and stent instrument)
