This is how it was explained to me.........

You have ducts in your eyelid that produce oil, and your natural tears keep it flowing properly. When you have dry eyes as I do (even using moisturizing drops). then your eyes aren't moist enough to keep it thinned out, and it can coagulate and clog the oil duct resulting in a hardened area - the knot. Doc say there is a procedure they can do involving the tear duct so that you retain more of your tears, and that usually is done also when they drain the affected area. Having both procedures done should eliminate any further problem. It's all done in the office and I wouldn't have to go to the surgery center, and he says it's painless. Guess I'll have to take his word for it for now.
