Purpose: To report cases of complications after using punctual plugs with a literature review. Methods: We studied 3 complicated cases after the use of punctual plugs: a 46-year-old female with recurrent mucopurulent discharge, a 42-year-old male with a pinkish mass over the punctum, and a 29-year-old female with recurrent epiphora. Results: The 46-year-old female was diagnosed with canaliculitis caused by actinomyces, the 42-year-old male with chronic pyogenic granuloma, and the 29-year-old female with canalicular obstruction. All 3 cases improved after proper treatments. Conclusions: Complications after the use of punctal plugs are not common but they can be significant. They have to be used carefully after through evaluation and obtained proper informed consents from the patient.
