    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Virology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Acquired obstruction of the lacrimal canalicular system can arise from various causes.
    • Viral infections are recognized as a potential etiology for such obstructions.

    Observation:

    • A series of 20 patients diagnosed with canalicular obstruction due to herpes simplex virus infection was analyzed.
    • Clinical presentation and diagnostic findings were documented for each case.

    Findings:

    • Herpes simplex virus was identified as the causative agent in all 20 cases of acquired lacrimal canalicular obstruction.
    • Detailed case study highlights the specific manifestations and progression of the infection.

    Implications:

    • Understanding viral etiologies like herpes simplex is crucial for diagnosing and managing lacrimal drainage pathway obstructions.
