Summary

Punctoplasty is a surgical skill which is successful in the treatment of symptomatic epiphora in patients with punctal stenosis with a patent lacrimal system. This in-office procedure is used to widen the punctal opening allowing for more efficient tear drainage. There are minimal complications associated with the procedure. This chapter will discuss in detail the steps of the procedure as well as how to handle complications or restenosis.
