Abstract

Purpose: To report two cases of pyogenic granuloma following silicone punctal plugs. Methods: Interventional case reports. Results: The authors report two cases of pyogenic granuloma secondary to silicone punctal plugs and their lacrimal sequelae following surgical removal in one case and conservative treatment with removal of the plug alone in another. The former case developed no lacrimal sequelae while the second case developed punctal scarring. Spontaneous loss of plugs was common to both the cases. Conclusions: Patients with punctal plugs should be informed about plug-related problems and encouraged to report them.
