<P> The lacrimal glands are paired , almond - shaped exocrine glands , one for each eye , that secrete the aqueous layer of the tear film . They are situated in the upper lateral region of each orbit , in the lacrimal fossa of the orbit formed by the frontal bone . Inflammation of the lacrimal glands is called dacryoadenitis . The lacrimal gland produces tears which then flow into canals that connect to the lacrimal sac . From that sac , the tears drain through the lacrimal duct into the nose . </P>
