Bilateral punctal–canalicular stenosis following photodynamic therapy for choroidal neovascularization

Abstract

Several medications have been reported to cause punctal–canalicular stenosis, such as mitomycin C, docetaxel, 5-fluorouracil, and isotretinoin. To our knowledge, there have been no cases of verteporfin-associated punctal–canalicular stenosis described in the literature. We hereby present such a case.
