...but a tear doesn't actually drop where does that extree fluid go? It eventually just kinda goes away but where is it going?

Is there a little drain-like thingie in the back of your eyes or something? Or is it absorbed? And if so, by what?

Nasolacrimal duct into the sinuses. And dispersed on your eyeball.

Interesting. I've noticed that if I roll my eyeball around when it's all watery then it kinda goes away a lot quicker.

Now I know why.

Thanks, sf.com!
