Abstract
CB is a 34-year-old woman who had undergone LASIK refractive surgery 6 years prior to presentation. She experienced symptomatic dry eyes afterwards, and punctal plugs were placed in the lower punctae bilaterally with improvement in her symptoms. For the past several months, she experienced intermittent tearing and pain in the left eye. There was some tenderness to palpation in the area of the left lacrimal sac. A punctal plug was visible in the right lower punctum but not in the left.
