lacrimal glands

Lacrimal glands are small, almond-shaped glands located above each eye, responsible for producing tears. These tears help keep the eyes moist, protect against infections, and wash away dust or debris. The tears flow through tiny channels onto the surface of the eye and drain into the nose through tear ducts. Proper functioning of these glands is essential for eye comfort and clear vision, while issues like overproduction or blockage can lead to dry eyes or excessive tearing. The lacrimal glands play a vital role in maintaining healthy, comfortable eyes.
