We concluded that outfracture of the inferior turbinate with septoplasty surgery may benefit the regulation of tear flow. In addition, we concluded that lacrimal irrigation test duration may be effective in determining the patients with subclinical nasolacrimal duct partial obstruction due to inferior turbinate pathologies.
