Why does lacrimal secretion increase substantially when we are upset?
Q. I understand that lacrimal fluid flows from the lacrimal gland positioned on the lateral orbital region of the eye to the excretory lacrimal ducts which transmit tears across the eye surface. These tears (lacrimal fluids) then collect into medial little holes called the lacrimal puncta and then flow into the lacrimal canaliculus to the lacrimal sac and then drain into the nasolacrimal duct. So then, it seems that this flow of lacrimal secretion/fluid increases substantially in the lacrimal gland where it then oozes out to flow in the rest of its path. Am I right in assuming this? So, then, why does being upset/highly emotional increase lacrimal secretion in the lacrimal glands above the eyes?

A. We humans have the most highly developed forebrains of any creature on earth (except maybe dolphins) The result of this is we have emotions... not just primal instincts. We share fear, anger, jeoulosy, survival instinct and so on with our animal cousins, but we also have love, devotion, admiration, resentment, sorrow, and a whole host of complex emotions that are unique to homo sapiens. One of the most common physical side effects of strong emotion is crying. If this sounds completely alien to you then you have no soul.

A. It is sometimes necessary in infants to put in tubes to drain the tear sacs when a child keeps getting eye infections. They take them out when the child grows some Tear ducts are there but get blocked sometimes.

Mucus or some watery stuff builds in the corner of one eye (I'm guessing the tear duct)?
Q. so this gets very annoying as it builds up in the day, and i have to apply pressure (press my finger against the swelling) to release the fluid out the corner of my eye. Those are about the only symptoms, as i don't have an redness or pain and I've been able to cry- so i don't think its blocked tear ducts. I think i had trauma to the eye and that's when it began. It seems like it may be torn- like the lacrimal sac or something, and comparing it to the other side, its like the area is really tender compared to the round hard thing in my other, normal eye.

A bump on the inside corner of my eye. What is it?
Q. I noticed last night that I had a bump on the inside corner of my eye. Supposedly from what I've looked up, the bump in where the lacrimal sac is. This is what I found out. Let me know if this is what I have please before I set up an appointment to see the eye doctor. I don't want to have to go if it isn't a stye because I don't have any insurance since my dad's insurance doesn't cover me anymore. Thanks! A stye, or hordeolum, is a small bump that can appear on the outside or inside of the eyelid. A stye develops from an eyelash follicle or an eyelid oil gland that becomes clogged from excess oil, debris or bacteria. Styes seem to be brought on by increased stress, but can also be a complication of another condition, called blepharitis.

A. it may be a sty as u suggested. if the bump is where u mentioned, it might just be that. place a warm cloth on the eye at least 3 to 4 times a day. or u can simply buy an over-the counter ointment. doesnt cost much.
