Incisional biopsy of eyes and adnexae: Incisional biopsy of other parts of eye: Lacrimal ducts

During an operation on your eye, tissue samples were taken from your lacrimal ducts.

Tear fluid flows out of the eye via the tear ducts. The tear ducts begin in the inner edge of the upper and lower eyelids. In both places there is a small opening that opens into a narrow channel. The channels join and carry the tear fluid to the inside of the nose.
