👉 Blink fluid, also known as lacrimal mucin, is a viscous substance produced by the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and lining its inner surface. This fluid plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and lubrication of the eye during blinking, ensuring that the tear film remains stable and evenly distributed across the ocular surface. It also aids in protecting the eye from irritants, foreign particles, and pathogens by forming a protective barrier. Additionally, blink fluid helps in the efficient drainage of tears through the nasolacrimal duct, preventing excessive tearing and maintaining proper ocular hydration.
