Proper Sizing
The VeraPlugTM punctal occluder is available in four sizes: small, medium, large and x-large. To determine the proper size, begin with the smallest VeraPlugTM gauge (0.5mm) and insert the head of the gauge into the punctal opening. The gauge should fit snugly with a small amount of resistance. If the gauge enters the punctal opening with no resistance, the next larger size gauge should be tried in the same manner. Repeat this process until the proper size VeraPlugTM is determined based on the sizing chart shown.
