The punctum (puncta) are tiny holes located in the eyelids near the bridge of the nose. Excess tears drain through the punctum, down the canalicular system into the lacrimal sac, then down into the nose. This explains why you get a runny nose when your eyes are watering.
oh wow this video was very cool

My eye lids are dry and peeling...and I dont know what is going on...
they start out as being red...then itchy..then the skin dies and peels off...this cycle has repeated itself a few time now and I'm starting to get concerned
