There are little holes around the corners of my eyes. What are they? Is there anyone out there like me?

The small hole at the corner of the eye is a tear spot, which is a normal physiological structure located on the inner edge of the upper and lower eyelids. There are none.

If there is a small hole in the eyelid skin below the inner eyelid, sometimes there may be a small amount of secretion, consider congenital lacrimal fistula, which is an abnormal manifestation of the need to go to the hospital ophthalmology department in a timely manner to carry out targeted examination, according to their own physical condition of surgical treatment, such as fistula mouth closure surgery or fistula radical surgery. Lacrimal glands produce tears that are secreted on the surface of the eye, some of which enter the lacrimal ducts through the siphoning action of the upper and lower tear ducts, and are finally discharged from the nasal cavity.

Tears in the corners of the eyes precautions

Tears in the corners of the eyes to clarify the cause. If the conjunctiva of the eye is accompanied by congestion as well as increased secretion, it is considered to be caused by conjunctivitis, because of the inflammatory response to the emergence of irritating tearing, which needs to be treated with antibiotic eyedrops and ointment, such as levofloxacin eyedrops and erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. If there is an obvious foreign body sensation in the corner of the eye, it may be caused by foreign body residue, which needs to be removed in time.

If the local skin at the corner of the eye appears red, swollen and painful, it may be caused by blepharitis, which can also lead to tearing when the condition is serious, and requires anti-inflammatory treatment, such as ofloxacin eye drops and oral cephalosporin medicine. If there is no obvious abnormality in the eyes, but there has been the phenomenon of tearing, it may be caused by tear duct disease, need to carry out tear duct flushing inspection, if it is caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction, need to tear duct probing surgery, if it is caused by chronic lacrimal dacryocystitis, need to nasal lacrimal dacryocystitis anastomosis surgery.
