Abstract

Canaliculitis is an uncommon condition of the lacrimal canaliculi. The presentation is usually unilateral and usually runs with epiphora, hyperemia, edema, and pain, with discharge of secretion by the lacrimal point. The diagnosis is clinical since its findings are quite typical. Surgical treatment with canaliculotomy has been described as the most effective. Canaliculitis should be considered in recurrent cases of conjunctivitis and the ophthalmologist should be aware of the signs for earlier management of cases.
