Innovative cost-effective method to repair lacrimal cannaliculi laceration – finding proximal end and stent
Purpose: To explore a new technique to find out the proximal end of lacerated canaliculi and a new material for the stent.Methods: Surgery was performed on 9 eyes of 9 patients using a 5/0 prolene suture needle as a modified probe. Prolene suture was inserted as a stent and left in place for two mon...
