A member asked:

Hi doctors, can you tell me what is it called when you have no tear ducts?

Dr. Matt Wachsman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

No such.: but there are many common disorders in which the tears are lacking. Sjorgren's is probably what you mean (autoimmune disease with very low tear duct activity.. dry eye syndrome). also can be a medication effect or aging.
