Numerous designs of punctal and canalicular plugs are available on the market. This variety presents challenges to ophthalmologists when choosing punctal plugs for the management of various ocular conditions. The aim of this literature review is to provide a classification system for lacrimal occlusive devices based on their location and duration of action as well as to identify different characteristics of each one of them. We want to give a comprehensive overview on punctal and canalicular plugs including their manufacturing companies, indications, and complications that have been reported in various articles. PubMed and Google Scholar were used to identify articles written in English as well as few articles written in Japanese, Chinese, Slovak, and Spanish that had abstracts in English. Nine different companies that manufacture punctal and canalicular plugs were identified and their plugs were included in this review. Punctal and canalicular plugs are used in the management of various ocular conditions including dry eye disease and punctal stenosis as well as in ocular drug delivery. Although they are a relatively safe option, associated complications have been reported in the literature such as infection, allergic reaction, extrusion, and migration.

Aim: to analyze the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) among adult patients with ametropias and the efficacy of its complex treatment when preparing the ocular surface for corneal refractive surgery.Patients and Methods: 1,762 patients with ametropias were examined. In addition to all of the standard eye checks, vital conjunctival and corneal staining, Scheimpflug corneal topography, and anterior segment OCT as well as patient survey were performed. Standard preservative-free tear substitutes with or without a short course of steroids, lubricants, 0.05% anionic cyclosporine emulsion (twice daily), and long-term punctal plugs were prescribed for DED.Results: mild DED was diagnosed in 1,021 patients (57.9%). Of them, corneal lesion was reported in 362 patients (35.4%) and asymptomatic DED in 250 patients (25.5%). Corneal topographic indices of one or both eyes were abnormal (as a result of DED) in 147 patients (14.4%). Significant (p≤0.05) increase in corneal epithelial thickness of one or both eyes was reported in 564 patients (55.2%). Ocular surface treatment in DED patients allowed for uncomplicated corneal refractive procedures while target refraction was achieved in 1,006 patients (98.5%). Conclusion: a complex diagnostic approach to DED involving specific tests, patient survey, corneal topography, and OCT provides the diagnosis of both manifest and latent DED. Combined treatment for conjunctival and corneal xerosis that includes tear substitutes, topical cyclosporine, and punctal plugs, improves ocular surface health in DED thus enlarging the list of indications and the safety of laser eye surgery in these patients.Keywords: dry eye disease, laser eye surgery, corneal refractive procedures, anionic cyclosporine emulsion, punctal plugs, corneal epithelium.For citation: Klokova O.A., Damashauskas R.O., Geidenrich M.S.
