Abstract
Canalicular involvement occurs in 36% of eyelid injuries. Injury by the “blouse-hook fastener” is unique to infants in the Indian context. Simultaneous globe injury is present in 25% of cases, especially when the upper canaliculus is involved. Mini-Monoka stent extrusions occur within one month. With an 11.1% extrusion rate, Mini-Monoka stents achieved good anatomical (90%) and functional (100%) success in the management of canalicular injury.
