Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
The level of salt in the tears depends on the level of salt in your own body. There is nothing to worry if the levels are low. Some people have hereditary low levels of sodium in body fluids. It is not a health problem and you should stop worrying over it.
