    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Lacrimal intubation is a common procedure for nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
    • Postoperative complications such as punctal erosion and loop retraction can occur.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified silicone intubation technique.
    • To address and eliminate major postoperative complications of punctal erosion and loop retraction.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified silicone tube insertion method was developed.
    • The technique focuses on preventing direct contact between the silicone loop and the punctum.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique effectively eliminated punctal erosion.
    • Loop retraction was also successfully prevented, leading to improved intubation success.
