    The peculiarities of the topography of the lacrimal apparatus, as well as the complexity of diagnosis and choice of the method of treatment of the lacrimal pathways prompted the search for methods of their direct visualization. Transcanalicular endoscopy of the lacrimal tracts allows for direct visual examination of their internal surfaces and contents.
