Familiar with the weird spot you have on the inside of the eye?

We found out what it is - and it's pretty disturbing

Thanks to a video shared on the net, Reddit users were surprised to find that we all have tiny holes in the inner edge of our eyes - and were stunned when they realized that the tears did not come from there as they appreciated.

Do we have reason to worry about it and what is the connection between it and a liquid nose?

People with particularly bizarre body parts (Walla! News system)

Take a look, look yourself in the eyes.

What beautiful eyes do you have eh?

Fine, now look at the bottom of your eyelids and try to find in one of the corners a kind of small hole.

See him?

So first of all, get to know - these are your conjunctival pores, and they play a very important role in the most dramatic moments in your life.

A video circulated on Reddit left viewers confused after revealing the existence of a tiny groove located at the inner edge of the eye.

While many have assumed that this is a groove from which the tears come - in fact the opposite is true.

The function of the groove known as the lacrimal punctum is to drain tears and a constant fluid in the eye towards the nasal passages - which is why when you cry, the nose also becomes fluid.

The post, which garnered hundreds of Reddit responses, was posted alongside the text: "Today I learned that the reason our nose liquefied after crying is the remnants of fluid that did not go down in our tears and drain into the nose through the 'conjunctival pore' (that strange mysterious hole in your lower eyelid).

The video attached to Reddit was originally posted on the YouTube channel WATOP, in which they explain: "All our tears that did not manage to fall on our cheeks dramatically - get there. "Crying without a runny nose. Not crying as well as in the movies. That's not what we asked for, evolution."

"Today I found out I have holes in my lower eyelids. Humans are a weird thing," one wrote in response, adding, "Okay, what the hell ?! I went to the mirror and there really is a hole, on both sides. Were they always there? I'm a little freaked out about it. I looked "So many times over my eyes over the years that I did not believe it, but here it is."

Another viewer asked: "Oh, aren't these the tears coming from here?".

Others identified and admitted that they had made the same mistake.

Another viewer felt relieved: "Ahhh, lucky. I thought this weird hole was something bad and only I have it."

In contrast, another viewer was stressed: "You know, until 10 seconds ago I had a good life. Why ruin ?!".

Another explanation

Dr. Idan Magen of the Davidson Institute of Science explains that "the tear system consists of an excretory system that produces the tears and an evacuation system that drains them.

The lacrimal gland, located in the inner part of the upper eyelid, is mainly responsible for the production of emotional or reflexive tears.

When tears are produced in large quantities in response to an emotional state, some of them evaporate between blinking.

The fluid that does not evaporate and does not flow out as tears drains through a small opening called the conjunctival pore (Lacrimal punctum), which is attached to the nose, so as not to flood the eye.

That's why the nose also leaks when we cry a lot. "
