canaliculitis is an inflammation, usually due to infection, of the canaliculi (small tear-drainage channels) in the eyelids. It most often involves the canaliculus near the inner corner of the eye where tears enter the drainage system. The term is commonly used in ophthalmology and optometry when evaluating persistent tearing or chronic eyelid discharge. It can mimic common conditions like conjunctivitis, so clear identification matters in clinical practice.
