2. Punctoplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctoplasty

   Excess tears are drained via the punctum through the tiny channels called canaliculi located on the inner side of the eyes into the tear sac, from there to the tear duct, the nose and finally down the throat. [citation needed] Epiphora, or watering eyes, is a condition in which tears flow out of the eyes, bypassing the lacrimal puncta.

   Punctal plugs are thought to be "relatively safe", however, their use may result in epiphora (watery eyes), and more rarely, serious infection and swelling of the tear sac where the tears drain.

   Schirmer's test determines whether the eye produces enough tears to keep it moist. This test is used when a person experiences very dry eyes or excessive watering of the eyes. It can cause damage to the cornea. [1] A negative (more than 10 mm of moisture on the filter paper in 5 minutes) test result is normal.

7. Epiphora (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphora_(medicine)

   Causes of epiphora are any that cause either overproduction of tears or decreased drainage of tears, resulting in tearing onto the cheek. [2] This can be due to ocular irritation and inflammation (including trichiasis and entropion) or an obstructed tear outflow tract, which is divided according to its anatomical location (i.e., ectropion, punctal, canalicular or nasolacrimal duct obstruction).
