[Optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis of pathologies of the horizontal portion of the lacrimal drainage system].

This article reviews literature on the use of optical coherence tomography in studying the anatomical structure of the proximal lacrimal drainage system, as well as in diagnosing its pathological changes. Determining the reference values of the parameters of the lacrimal punctum and the lacrimal canaliculus remains an important issue. The review describes the advantages and disadvantages of this method, as well as the prospects for its application in clinical practice.
