Tears can be a disease! Tears are the most effective "remedy" to relieve the mental burden, and a hearty cry can relieve the depression and grievances in the heart. However, if your eyes continue to tear all the time, you need to pay attention to it, and it is likely that you are suffering from tear duct disease.

Recommended reading: What Foods to Eat to Improve Vision? Recurrent tearing may be caused by a blocked tear duct, causing the person's eyes to produce tears that moisten the cornea. On the outside of the eyeball there is a gland the size of a little finger, called the lacrimal gland. Normally, the tear glands are constantly making tears and moistening our eyes.

At the corner of the eye there is a small tube that leads to the nasal cavity called the tear duct. Except for some of the tears that are usually shed, the rest of the tears enter the nasal cavity through the nasolacrimal duct, so we don't feel the tears. However, if the tear duct is narrow or blocked, tears cannot flow along the tear duct into the nasal cavity, throat and other parts, and can only flow out of the body, so the phenomenon of tearing will occur.

Many people do not know enough about lacrimal duct disease and mistakenly think that "tears" are a trivial matter, resulting in delayed treatment. Lacrimal duct disease is an "invisible killer" that endangers eye health, and lacrimal duct disease poses a serious threat to the eyes. The lacrimal duct is like the "sewer" of our tears, and the lacrimal sac is the "reservoir" of the sewer.

If the tear duct is blocked or inflamed, the water in the "sewer" will be discharged at a slower or even no rate, resulting in continuous tearing. If the "sewer" is blocked for a long time, the tears in the lacrimal sac will "not move" and it is easy to breed bacteria.

Over time, infection and inflammation will cause lesions in the lacrimal sac, which will be complicated by chronic lacrimal sac inflammation, and the corners of the eyes will not only flow from the tears, but also have purulent discharge. Lacrimal duct disease needs to be treated in time, acute attack of chronic dacryocystitis, not only the corners of the eyes will appear obvious symptoms of redness, swelling, heat and pain, but also may not be able to open the eyes and visual impairment on the affected side may make the patient unable to work and rest normally.
