" The tear film on the front of your eyes is there all the time, not just when you cry. It’s less than a tenth of the thickness of a human hair, but without it, you wouldn’t see at all" .
Tearing (/ˈtiərɪŋ/), lacrimation, or lachrymation, (fromLatin lacrima, meaning "tear") is the secretion of tears, which often serves to clean and lubricate the eyes in response to an irritation of the eyes. Tears formed through crying are associated with strong internal emotions, such as sorrow, elation, emotion, love, awe or pleasure. Laughing or yawning may also lead to the production of tears.
