Long-term Outcomes of Punctal Cauterization in the Management of Ocular Surface Diseases
Conclusions:
Punctal cauterization is an effective modality in treating severe ocular surface diseases in patients who repeatedly lose punctal plugs, and it can be easily performed in a clinic setting without major complications. However, cauterization may need to be repeated in up to a quarter of cases because of recanalization.
