Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients who underwent absorbable canalicular plugs with dry eye.Materials and Methods: The medical records of 20 patients who underwent canalicular obstruction using absorbable canalicular plugs Oasis Soft Plug Extended Duration, Glendora, USA between March 2014 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Dry eye disease was assessed by The Ocular Surface Disease Index OSDI subjective questioning score. Absorbable canalicular plugs were inserted using a biomicroscope.Results: Forty- nine canaliculi 37 lower, 12 upper canaliculi in 37 eyes were occluded using absorbable canalicular plugs. The resumption of the dry eye symptoms after the canalicular obstruction was recorded and the canalicular plug insertion was repeated when necessary. Significant changes were observed in OSDI scores after canalicular occlusion p

Abstract
Amaç: Kuru göz sebebi ile eriyebilen kanalikül tıkacı uygulanan hastaların klinik özelliklerini ve tedavi sonuçlarını değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Mart 2014- Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında, kuru göz sebebi ile eriyebilen kanaliküler tıkaç Oasys Soft Plug Extended Duration,Glendora, ABD kullanılarak kanalikül oklüzyonu yapılan 20 hastanın verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Göz kuruluğu Oküler Yüzey Hastalık İndeksi OSDI subjektif sorgulama skoru ile değerlendirildi. Eriyebilen tıkaç kanaliküle biyomikroskop altında yerleştirildi. Bulgular: Otuz yedi gözün 49 kanalikülü 37 alt, 12 üst , eriyebilen kanaliküler tıkaç kullanılarak kapatıldı. Tıkama işleminden sonra kuru göz semptomlarının tekrar başladığı süreler kaydedilerek gereken hastalarda kanaliküler tıkaç yenilendi. Tıkaç yerleştirilmesi sonrasında OSDI skorlarında anlamlı düşüş izlendi p
