“…This advantage can help overcome the problems and complications that come with commercially available versions that only have limited sizes. [ 4 ] Another major advantage of these punctal plugs is their cost-effectiveness along with a very short printing time for something that can be individualized from person to person. With the hollow cylindrical part of the design used in this research, it can also prove to be an effective ocular drug delivery system where prolonged drug delivery can be achieved.…”

“…Moreover, it is known that silicone punctal plugs can traumatise the ocular surface in the setting of partial extrusion of the plug, especially in the context of rigid plugs with thick collarettes. 3 This case highlights the ocular surface trauma that may result when the plug's collarette is oriented towards the ocular surface. It further highlights the importance of evaluating the punctal position prior to and after plug placement, to ensure that no direct apposition of the plug to the ocular surface occurs.…”

“…This biodegradability can help to avoid many complications caused by the permanent complete blockage of the lacrimal drainage system, such as canaliculitis and epiphora. [7,62] Compared with existing commercialized plugs, SFMA/FTN hydrogel plugs are liquid prior to use; they can be molded according to the shape of the lacrimal canaliculus, despite differences between individuals, and they can completely obstruct the canaliculus. Due to the admirable biodegradability of the SFMA/FTN hydrogel, lacrimal obstruction gradually cleared, and lacrimal drainage capacity gradually recovered.…”

“…Although, it has been reported there are significant improvements in symptomatic and clinical outcomes after treatment with plugs, many complications are associated with their use. [4,5] Some of the recognized complications of plugs include epiphora (overflow of tears), plug movement (or loss), infectious canaliculitis, [6][7][8] granuloma, and biofilm formation. [9,10] Thus, developing satisfactory lacrimal plugs for dry eye is of great importance.…”
