- 3 snip Punctoplasty
- Punctual occlusion
- Demulcent solutions
- Hot compresses
Correct Answer: 3 snip Punctoplasty
A 3 snip punctoplasty would make dry eyes worse by enlarging the punctual thus allowing what little tears that are produced to escape. On the other hand, punctual occlusion would prevent the tears from draining. Demulcent solutions are mucomimetic and hence advantageous in dry eyes. Hot compresses help to stabilize the tear film.
