A tear is a drop of salty fluid that forms in the eye. Tears are triggered by more than sadness. Basal tears are always present in people's eyes - even when they're happy! Their purpose is to provide moisture. Without basal tears, a person's eyes would dry out. Meanwhile, reflex tears are almost like a watery shield. They protect people's eyes from smoke, wind, dust, and other irritants.
