Krause s glands are small, mucous accessory lacrimal glands that are found underneath the eyelid where the upper and lower conjuctiva e meet. Their ducts unite into a rather long Sinus anatomy sinus which open into the fornix conjunctiva. There are approximately forty Krause glands in the region of the upper eyelid, and around 6 to 8 in the region of the lower lid. The function of these glands are to produce tears which are secreted onto the surface of the conjuctiva. There are rare instances of tumor s associated with Krause s glands. They usually occur as retention cyst s in cicatrix cicatricial conditions of the conjunctiva. Krause s glands are named after German anatomist Karl Friedrich Theodor Krause 1797 1868 .
