The lacrimal vein is a vessel that drains the lacrimal gland, which produces tears, and other areas of the eye. It typically follows the course of the lacrimal artery and drains into the superior ophthalmic vein or directly into the cavernous sinus. It plays a key role in carrying deoxygenated blood away from the eye region.
