“…Despite these limitations, lacrimal syringing remains the predominant procedure in clinical practice as an effective clinical screening tool for lacrimal diseases. Studies showed that occlusion of the lacrimal system was proven to be a risk factor for postoperative endophthalmitis during intraocular surgery [3,19,20].…”

Aim: This study compares two lacrimal syringing techniques and introduces a simplified self-serve training model for ophthalmology residents to acquire proficient skills. Methods: A cross-sectional survey involved lacrimal syringing novices divided into Group A and Group B. Group A underwent an 8-hour training session covering both techniques and completed post-training questionnaires. Based on Group A's feedback, a simplified self-serve training model was developed. Group B received training, with or without the new model, to assess its effectiveness in improving syringing skills. Results: The study included 92 participants, with 47 in Group A and 45 in Group B. In Group A, 70.2% preferred Technique 1 (Group A1) and 29.8% opted for Technique 2 (Group A2). No significant differences were found between A1 and A2 in baseline skill, practice duration, or mastery levels (p > 0.05). Both techniques had similar perceived difficulty (p > 0.05), but Technique 2 was easier for injection (p < 0.05). Lack of suitable training models (63.8%) and psychological barriers (25.5%) were the main obstacles to proficiency. Group B1, using the training model, showed increased confidence scores (p < 0.05) and a tendency towards better skill assessment, although not statistically significant compared to Group B2 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Both lacrimal syringing techniques are easily mastered, with Technique 1 preferred by the majority and Technique 2 ideal for pressed irrigation. Our self-serve training model presents a cost-effective means to boost confidence and facilitate lacrimal syringing skill acquisition among ophthalmology residents.
