Punctal occlusion with n-butyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.
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.
