Tear Duct Plug Placement

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 68761

This is a procedure to close off the small drainage opening in the eyelid, called the punctum, by inserting a tiny plug. It's used to treat chronic dry eyes by keeping natural tears on the eye's surface longer instead of draining away. The plug is inserted in the office and can often be removed later if needed.
