We present the case of a 59-year-old woman whose silicone punctal plugs migrated distally causing lacrimal obstruction. The plugs were removed from the lacrimal sac during endoscopic endonasal dacrocystorhinostomy and is illustrated by endoscopic photographs and videos taken at the time of surgery. This case highlights the potential complications of punctal plugs and the difficulties posed in retrieving them.
