A condition where fluid accumulates and forms a cyst or cavity in the tear gland or tear duct.
From Greek dakryon (tear) + ops (eye or cavity). The term literally means a tear-related cavity or eye condition, combining two Greek roots that describe what's happening physically.
When tear ducts get blocked, fluid backs up like water behind a dam, creating little pockets of fluid—it's your eye's plumbing system getting clogged!
