SNIPS is a new kind of educational course, cutting directly to the information you need to know in a short, visual format. Developed directly from content performance deficiencies from recent ABPS Continuous Certification Exam, these streamlined learning modules feature quick, easily digestible videos on important topics your peers struggled with last year. Take advantage of this great ASPS member benefit or upgrade for CME credits. This course focuses on important topics, in a short, visual Q&A format.

This non-CME module addresses the following questions:

1. How long is observation reasonable after post-traumatic epiphora before intervention?
2. What clinical signs suggest resolution is unlikely without surgery?
3. How does the chronicity of symptoms guide management choice?
4. Why is 6 months a common threshold for moving from observation to surgery?
5. What risks are associated with delaying surgical correction beyond this period?

This module reviews the etiology of post-traumatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction and strategies for management.
