An implant device to provide an artificial fluid path in fluid communication with the lacrimal apparatus is implanted through a fistula opening into the lacrimal apparatus using a working member disposed through the implant device and a break-away sheath. Implantation kits and tool assemblies including the working member, implant device and break-away sheath facilitate implantation of the implant device.
