A study of orienting with lacrimal caruncle in lacrimal of canaliculus

Objective To research the value of orienting with lacrimal caruncle in repair of lacrimal of canaliculus.Methods The distance between the nosal points of lacrimal of canaliculus and lacrimal caruncle was measured horizontally and vertically.Results Great majority of the nosal points of lacrimal of canaliculus were smaller than lmm below lacrimal caruncle,and smaller than 2rmm to lacrimal caruncle in nasalis,and the nosal points of lacrimal of canaliculus might be recovered by lacrimal caruncle.Conclusions Orienting with lacrimal caruncle is favorable for lacrimal of canaliculus.
