What is the pathway that the lacrimal gland takes from the surface of the eye?
Tears are produced by the lacrimal gland and the accessory lacrimal glands and cover the cornea. Tears then drain out the punctum in the medial eyelids, flow down the canaliculi into the lacrimal sac. They then drain down the nasolacrimal duct into the nose at the inferior meatus (under the inferior turbinate).from the lacrimal galnd to the lacrimal canals (lacrimal puncta canaliculi) to the lacrimal sace, then the nasolacrimal duct and finally the nasal cavity

What are effects after punctoplasty?
Your punctum is cut bigger so that more tears drain down your tear ducts, minimizing watery eyes. In my case, however, my upper punctum no longer touches my eye's surface, causing a constant wet feeling in my lacrimal caruncle (pink triangle between your eye and your nose). I wish I had not had the operation.
