Blocked Tear Ducts (Child) [English] Permalink Public

Tears clean the eyes and keep the surface of the eyes moist. They are a clear fluid that is produced all the time by the tear glands (lacrimal glands) and flows down across the surface of the eye. A tear duct that is blocked stops the flow of tears from the eye down into the nose. It can affect one or both eyes. Audio available. (English)
