PURPOSE: To describe a technique for the prevention of spontaneous loss of lacrimal punctal plugs.
DESIGN: Interventional case series.
METHODS: Four consecutive patients (10 puncta in seven eyes) with severe dry eyes who experienced repeated spontaneous plug loss underwent punctal occlusion by suturing plugs with 10-0 polypropylene sutures.
RESULTS: All punctal plugs were fitted to lacrimal puncta by anchoring the sutures. Plug retention rate was 80% at 6 months after the procedure.
CONCLUSION: Suturing punctal plugs is effective in the production of long-term punctal closure in patients with repeated spontaneous plug loss.
