Honestly it’s a good question! The lacrimal glad is in the eyelid. But it works mechanically so when the eye lid moves over the eye ball it lets a little bit of fluid out to lubricate the eye. Would tears flow less if there is no eye to help squeeze them out?

Assuming there was no damage to the tear ducts yes. The tear ducts are in the eyelids.
Tears come from the tear ducts not the eyeballs.
Yes, tears come from those little holes on the edge of your eyelids
I’ve been wondering about this topic for years now.
What?! now tears are also stored in the balls!?
Yea, my grandpa lost a eye in WW2 and he always has to dab it dry every few hours. The tear duct still worked.
lol brilliant.

I DO have eyeballs and I don’t cry. Never have. My tear ducts never developed.

Yes, tear ducts and the eyes themselves are two separate organs.
Eye really cant see the point of this post….
Yes. The tear duct is not part of the eye. It’s an opening next to your eye.
