    Probably from the middle, due to gravity. But I haven’t seen a diagram of his particular tear duct setup. With an eyeball that large, I would assume many to keep it lubricated.

    More specific studies are needed.

      Tears come from the lacrimal glands. They drain through tear ducts into the nose. That’s why your nose runs when you have watery eyes.
