Answer:

The lacrimal gland produces tears. A symptom of an under-producing lacrimal gland would be dry eyes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lacrimal Gland is either of two-secreting glands situated in the upper outer angle of the orbit.

Symptoms would be:

  • Dryness
  • Irritation
  • Redness
  • Burning sensation
  • Blurry vision due to lack of tears

So the answer is dry eyes. Excess tears would indicate an overproducing lacrimal gland. The other options - excess saliva and dry mouth - would not be related to the function of the lacrimal gland.
