Lacrimal calculi, or tear duct stones, are calcified deposits that can form in the lacrimal system, particularly in the nasolacrimal duct. Their presence can lead to symptoms such as tearing, swelling, and recurrent infections due to blockage of tear drainage. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, and treatment may require removal through surgical intervention. These stones are relatively rare but can significantly affect ocular health if not addressed.
