Tears help keep your eyes lubricated and remove foreign particles that can get in the way of your vision. Tears are produced through the lacrimal glands inside the upper eyelids. Each time you blink, tears are released, and keep the eyes moist and healthy. Once the tears are released from the tear ducts, they are drained through a small pipe called the canaliculus and moved into the lacrimal sac. After this, the tears move through the nose and are drained.
There are a number of reasons why excess tearing may occur. This includes:
Allergic reactions
