Introduction.To investigate the efficacy and safety of a modified bicanalicular intubation (MBCI) used in canalicular laceration.Materials and Methods.This study is a retrospective consecutive chart review.A total of 43 eyes from 43 patients (36 males and 7 females) who underwent canalicular intubation were enrolled.

Success rate was determined at 6 months after the surgery.Anatomical success was rectangular barn quilt patterns determined by diagnostic probing and irrigation; functional success was determined by asking patients about tearing.Results.Irrigation of the lacrimal passages in all 43 eyes showed that they were free from obstruction.The anatomical success was 100%, and 37 eyes cirque colors lavender sky (86%) achieved functional success.

6 eyes (14%) could not achieve functional success because there were some residual symptoms under irritating conditions, such as wind or winter weather, among which 2 eyes had bicanalicular lacerations and 4 eyes had lower canalicular laceration before surgery.There were no other complications observed in this study.Conclusions.The MBCI was simple and safe for using in canalicular laceration.
