  • Title: Punctal occlusion with n-butyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.
    Author: Patten JT.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1976; 7(2):24-6. PubMed ID: 945531.
    Abstract:
    N-butyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive can be easily placed in the lid puncta to serve as a temporary method for punctal occlusion. Such a procedure is a useful therapeutic trial in borderline cases of keratoconjunctivitis sicca being considered for further permanent punctal occlusion or in patients where a temporary dry eye condition is expected to be resolved in the near future.
