A member asked:
If flushing your eyes with water can the water go into the tear duct and cause pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nor really: Water should not cause any pain or causes pain in the tear duct. If you are having pain then see an eye doctor. Tear draining openings are on inner corner of the lids that drains to the tears duct.
