👉 Lachrymogenic is a medical term that refers to an abnormal production of tears, which can be caused by various conditions such as dry eyes, cataracts, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. Inflammation or irritation in the eye can lead to the production of excessive tears, causing them to become watery and runny. This condition is often referred to as lachrymogenic because it is a symptom of inflammation rather than an infectious disease.
