The insertion of punctal plugs is an eminent curative that positively improves the corneal and conjunctival epithelial disorders and the amount of lacrimal fluid accumulated in the conjunctival sac. We shall ...

متن کاملImperforate puncta with blocked naso-lacrimal duct.
The isolated anomaly of imperforate lacrimal puncta was noted by Zehender (i867, I883).

The simultaneous occurrence of these two anomalies would appear to be very rare (Fig. i) and an extensive search of the literature has revealed onl...
متن کاملTarsorrhaphy and lacrimal occlusion
Corneal hydration and protection can be achieved through increased lubrication or decreased evaporation. Hence, an important therapeutic strategy to corneal desiccation involves occlusion of the lacrimal drainage system in order to decrease tear outflow and provide additional ocular surface hydration. Three general approaches can be used: temporary, reversible, or permanent occlusion of the lac...
