Presence of tears in newborn babies is debated since long. In our day to day observation we find that tears are present in newborn babies. We conducted a prospective observational study to find out the presence of tears in newborn babies and if there is any difference in tear production in mode of delivery, between preterm and term babies and the sex of the baby. Results– Present study showed that tears are present in newborn babies. There is no difference in tear production between preterm and term babies or the mode of delivery but males had significantly more tear production as compared to females. Conclusion–Present study done reconfirms that tears are present in newborn babies. There was no difference between tear production in preterm and term babies but there was significant difference among both sexes in terms of tears production.
