This article provides an overview of the historical contributions made by the Babylonians, Ancient Egyptians, Medieval Arabs, and Persians to the understanding and treatment of lacrimal drainage disorders. It highlights the Code of Hammurabi, which contains laws related to lacrimal sac abscesses, and the Ebers Papyrus, which documents treatments for lacrimal sac inflammations. The text also discusses the works of physicians like Al-Razi and Ibn-Sina, who made significant contributions to ophthalmology in the Middle Ages. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these ancient descriptions in their historical context and acknowledges that our understanding of lacrimal diseases has evolved over time. The author concludes by stating that there is still much to learn in this field. [Extracted from the article]

This editorial explores the life and work of Lorenz Heister, a renowned German surgeon and anatomist known as the father of Surgical Anatomy in Germany. It focuses on Heister's three influential treatises on surgery and anatomy, with a specific emphasis on his observations and treatments of lacrimal disorders. Heister was a proponent of Dominique Anel's methods for managing fistula lacrymalis and provided detailed descriptions of Anel's probes and syringes. He also discussed the technique of St Yves, a famous oculist from Paris, and added his own steps to the procedure. Heister's work on lacrimal drainage disorders and other contributions to ophthalmology solidified his reputation as a pioneer in surgical anatomy and orthopedics in Germany.
