How is eye secretion formed?
Inside the eye there is an organization called 'eyelids'. It is located near the eyelashes on the edge of the eye.
When the seesaw secretes this substance during the daytime, it protects the eyes. At night, we need to close our eyes to rest. The secretions of the eyelids will gather near the eyelashes and mix with dust, tears, etc., and then turn into eye secretion. It can be said that it is a substance secreted by the normal body.
The cause of many eyelids
1. Eye irritation, If the eye is affected by eyelashes, dust, strong light, high temperature, frequent day and night, radiation and other irritations, it will lead to eye fatigue, increase more eyelid secretions.
2. Eye disease, If the eye develops conjunctivitis, trachoma and other diseases not only increase the eyelid, but also accompanied by tearing, redness, congestion, itching and so on.

If the lacrimal duct and nasolacrimal duct obstruction, tears will accumulate in dacryocystitis, causing dacryocystitis, Causes increased tears and increased eyelids.
