| Epiphora is an overflow of tears, usually caused by insufficient drainage of the tear film from the eye. The most common cause is a blockage of the lacrimal (tear) ducts located next to the nose (See Anatomy of the Eye), but the condition may also result from the excessive production of tears. Epiphora is a symptom rather than a disease and may be caused by a variety of conditions. |
