where is your tear duct?
Tear ducts are located in the corner of the eye closest to the nose. There is one on each lid and they function by draining the tears created by the lacrimal gland. The gland â¦ is located under the brow and secretes tears that are then evenly distributed over the eye by the blinking of the lid.
Tears normally drain from the eye through small tubes called tear ducts, which stretch from the eye into the nose. If a tear duct becomes blocked or fails to open, tears cannot drain from the eye properly. The duct may fill with fluid and become swollen, inflamed, and sometimes infected. Blocked tear ducts happen most often in babies, though they may occur at any age. They affect about 6 out of 100 newborns.
