Abstract

Summary. In the literature review have been considered the anatomo-morphological structure and pathological changes of the lacrimal puncta in the adult population, one of the most common pathology of which is the lacrimal puncta stenosis. There were also presented the causes, mechanisms of occurrence and various classifications of the puncta stenosis, as well as modern methods for their diagnosis. Such a pathology can occur as a result of using topical or systemic drugs, various infections, abnormal position of the eyelids because of involutonal changes, traumatic injuries and neoplasms. Despite the lacrimal puncta stenosis being one of the most common pathology of the proximal lacrimal apparatus, it remains understudied.

Keywords:

lacrimal punctum, epiphora, constriction, stenosis, optical coherence tomography.
