We have demonstrated the first in-vivo high resolution images of normal punctal and vertical canalicular anatomy using spectral OCT. There is currently no other practical way to accurately image punctal and proximal canalicular morphology in vivo. OCT is a convenient and readily available tool in most eye clinics with resolution ideally suited for imaging of the punctum and proximal canaliculus.
