Popis: The purpose of the lacrimal system is to create an ideal mucosal environment for visual functions of the eyeball, especially optimized to nutrition and defense of the cornea. This function is performed by the lacrimal production system and the lacrimal drainage system, which inevitably operates synergistically with the glandular and muscular systems of the eyelid (Fig. 2.1).
