Abstract

Supernumerary lacrimal puncta are rarely reported, though they are not exceptionally rare. We propose to present a case of intermittent tearing (epiphora) which on slit-lamp examination revealed unilateral three lower lacrimal puncta, only one of which remains functional.

Keywords: Epiphora, Lacrimal, Punctum, Supernumerary.
