They are glands near the eye that produce tears, or the solution that covers your eye.
The lacrimal glands produce tears that cleanse and protect the eye by keeping the surface moist and washing away irritants. The tears are then spread across the eye by blinking and other movements of the eyelids.

lacrimal gland
The eye is trying to remove the source of irritation by washing it away.
You will start to see tears anywhere between 1 to 3 months of age. Babies do not produce enough liquid to produce tears for w while they only produce enough to lubricate the eye.
They drain into a part of the eye that's called the duct.
The left eye teared first due to an irritant or emotional response that triggered the tear ducts to produce tears.
The tear from your right eye was likely caused by emotions such as sadness, happiness, or irritation, which can trigger the tear ducts to produce tears.
The Lacrimal gland is responsible for the production of tears. There are two of these glands, located above the outer corners of each eye. While these glands produce tears, there is a series of ducts, canals, and sacs that help transport the tears.

The conjunctiva covers the front part of the eye, including the sclera (white of the eye) and the inner surface of the eyelids. It helps to protect the eye and keep it moist by producing mucus and tears.
