Punctoplasty
ICD-9-CM09.71-09.72
[edit on Wikidata]

Punctoplasty is a surgical procedure to restore proper drainage of tears[1] when the lacrimal punctum (puncta lacrimalia) becomes blocked in one or both eyes.

If a blockage is present in the puncta, doctors may suggest a procedure called punctoplasty, performed to widen the drain opening. This usually takes 20–30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
