lacrimal caruncle

The caruncula lachrymalis or lacrimal caruncle is the small, pink, globe-like nodule at the inner corner (the medial angle) of the eye.

Ciaccio's glands are small tubular accessory lacrimal glands (glandulae lacrimales accessoriae) found in the lacrimal caruncle of the eyelid.

When ophthalmic medications are instilled into the eye, the healthcare provider applies gentle pressure on the Inner Canthus (Lacrimal caruncle) to delay drainage of the drug down the tear duct.
