Mini-Monoka Made Easy: A Simple Technique for Mini-Monoka Insertion in Acquired Punctal Stenosis

Purpose: To describe a simple and effective technique to insert the mini-monoka mono-canalicular stent using a nettleship dilator, without the need for a snip-procedure. Methods: Description of a surgical technique. Results: Mini-monoka stents have been shown to have a high rate of stent migration and premature loss when combined with a one-snip procedure. Our technique preserves the annular ring of the punctum and thus reduces the likelihood of these complications. Conclusion: This is a practical technique for the insertion of the mini-monoka monocanalicular stent for acquired punctual stenosis.
