Lower Eyelids

[zipadeedodah]

In the inner corner of both lower eyelids there is a small dark 'spot' (could be a tiny hole of some sort?) that you can only see if you pull the lid down slightly. Does anyone know what they do/are for?

Is a little hard to explain what I'm on about, but maybe someone understands?!

Its your tear duct - where you cry from.

Without those you would be in dire trouble!

[zipadeedodah]

Ooooh, I did wonder if they were, but then for some reason assumed they weren't! Thanks!

[zipadeedodah]

Oh right, interesting! Where does the actual eye liquid come from? I imagined tears to come out from tear ducts....do they not?

[joko]

eyes don't need a drain.

and if they did it wouldn't be above the eye, and have to travel sideways, would it?

they are tear ducts. they release tears.
