“…In addition, chronic blepharitis-related inflammation and cicatricial changes, ectropion, and old age-related tissue atrophy have also been implicated in punctum stenosis [11]. Similarly, another study reported punctum stenosis to be significantly higher in women [12]. In studies conducted without taking into account the patients' complaints on eye diseases, the rate of punctum stenosis ranged from 11% to 54.3% [8, 13, 14]; however, almost half of them (41.9%) had epiphora [13].…”

“…Chronic disease can result in inflammatory membrane formation, conjunctival epithelial overgrowth and keratinisation of the walls of the punctum 15 . These conditions, therefore, may lead to severe or complete obstruction of EPS with the necessity of JT insertion to restore the patency of lacrimal drainage; an increased risk of outpatient procedure failure (e.g., punctoplasty and balloon dilation) has been reported 16 . Indeed, the majority of procedures in our case series were represented by secondary treatments after failure of outpatient surgery, compared to upfront CDCR (71.4% vs 28.6%), confirming the poor trend in response to less invasive treatment.…”

“…[10] ise PS tanısı almış hastaların sadece %10,3'ünde üst punktumda stenoz bildirmiştir. Kadın-erkek arasında sağlıklı bireylerde punktal ölçümler benzer olsa da punktum stenozu %63-70 oranında kadınlarda görülmektedir [1,10,11]. Ancak cinsiyet farkının olmadığını gösteren çalışmalar da vardır [2,8].…”
