The chart is a high-resolution 4200×2970 px A3 landscape JPG (1.4 MB, 95% quality) with a professional deep navy/teal color scheme. Here's what's included across the three columns:
Column 1 - Foundation
  • Anatomy of the lacrimal drainage system (puncta → ampullae → canaliculi → Rosenmüller valve → sac → NLD)
  • Indications (7 clinical scenarios)
  • Contraindications (4 points)
  • Anatomy schematic diagram with labeled structures + syringe/cannula illustration
Column 2 - Procedure
  • 7-step color-coded procedure guide (preparation → anaesthesia → dilation → cannula insertion → advancement → irrigation → documentation)
  • Hard Stop vs Soft Stop comparison table with green/red coding and interpretation
Column 3 - Clinical Interpretation
  • Two textbook photographs from Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology (clinical irrigation photo + punctum dilation diagram)
  • 6 result interpretation scenarios with color-coded indicators (patent system, NLD block, canalicular block, etc.)
  • Equipment list + complications section

Printing tips:
  • Use the A4 Print Sheet for easy printing - it places 2 fronts and 2 backs with dashed cut guides
  • Print on card stock (200–250 gsm) for best durability
  • Cut along the dashed lines - each card is exactly 105 × 148 mm (A6)
  • Laminate for long-term clinical use
