Your eyelids function thousands of times a day, and with each blink, your eyelashes causes eddies of air currents that (usually) move dust particles away from contact with your eye.

On occasion, dust particles (Or L.A. Smog) will contact your eyeball's surface, causing extreme discomfort and blurring of vision.

The blurring is caused by the tear ducts. They are triggered when an irritant contacts the eyeball and flush out the irritant with tears.

Without operational tear ducts, we'd all be perpetually blinded by ordinary wind-blown dust.

What is the function of the tearduct?

The tear duct, or nasolacrimal duct, is responsible for draining tears from the surface of the eye into the nasal cavity. Tears are produced by the lacrimal glands to keep the eye moist and remove irritants. Once tears accumulate in the eye, they flow into the tear ducts, helping to maintain proper eye health and comfort. This drainage system also contributes to the sensation of a runny nose when we cry.
