Don't cry for me... [insert region here]

So... after a few stubborn bouts of eye infections, Johan was diagnosed with having two clogged tear ducts. At least one is clogged and one almost entirely clogged.
Contrary to what one might think, the tear duct does not lead tears to the eye, but drains them away from the eye.
Your eyes are continuously kept moist with tears and a duct drains away the excess along with dust, debris, etc. and dumps it into your nose. No, really! That's how some talented people - I guess with very clear ducts - can blow air out of their eyes...
What kind of procedure is used to unclog those ducts, you ask? Let's not spend too much time thinking about it!
