Abstract
- Canalicular occlusion with silicone plug was carried out in 11 patient, 21 eyes with dry eye syndrome and the effect and safety of the procedure were evaulated. Artificial tears were discontinued or frequency of instillation was reduced in 66.6% of eyes after occlusion of canaliculi. There were no stastiscally significant differences in the mean value of B.U.T. and Schirmer test pre-and post-canalicular occlusion. There were no cases of postoperative epophora, allergic reaction and infection.
