Epiphora resulting from severe punctal stenosis can be very symptomatic and annoying. Traditional treatment with three snip punctoplasty is invasive, not always successful and at times can result in severe scarring resulting in complete and irreversible stenosis of punctum requiring major surgical intervention. Mini Monoka stent insertion offers simple, noninvasive, reversible and often successful treatment option for punctal stenosis. In the present series, the results of 52 Mini Monoka insertions done in 30 patients, over last 24 months will be discussed. The presentation also includes a section on what patients thought about the procedure, their experience during and after procedure and the success of the procedure from their perspective.
