The lacrimal apparatus is a part of the ocular adnexa preserving ocular surface homoeostasis and therefore enabling sufficiant visual functioning. Tear producting tissues, eyelids and efferent tear ducts operate as one functional unit. Pathologic changes consist of inflammatory diseases, congenital disorders, degenerations and neoplasia. Common to all these conditions is a potential impairment of the ocular integrity as well as a substantial degree of suffering for the affected patients. This review reflects basics of the anatomy, physiology, and diagnostics of the lacrimal apparatus.
泪器是眼附属器的一部分，可维持眼表的内环境稳定，从而确保足够的视觉功能。泪液分泌组织、眼睑和泪液排出管道共同构成一个功能单元。病理改变包括炎症性疾病、先天性疾病、退行性病变和肿瘤形成。所有这些情况的共同之处在于可能损害眼的完整性，以及给受影响的患者带来很大痛苦。本文综述了泪器的解剖学、生理学和诊断学基础知识。
