Why do we have a small hole in the lower eyelid of our eye?!


Question:

Why do we have a small hole in the lower eyelid of our eye?

just look really close in a mirror and pull your lower eyelid out a little, then look inward, and you'll see a small hole . is it needed? what's the use for it? and is it normal?


Answers:

Definitely needed, hun. It's the opening to your tear duct. You think your eyes burn after reading or using the computer for long periods of time? Blinking would be down right agony with out that little "hole" releasing tears to the eyeball every time you blink. Yes, it is very normal, just like the pores on your skin release moisture to help the body cool down when it gets too hot.
