There is a pore at the corner of my eye frame

it would help to use a mirror

1. point a finger at the corner of your eye bag (the corner towards your nose)
2. gently drag the skin of your eye bag down, so you are looking into the flesh of your inner eye bag
3. look along the eye frame towards the corner

CAN ANYONE SEE A RATHER AWKARD PORE SITTING THERE BY ITSELF???
well, i do. and i checked my cousin's, he has it as well. i checked my other eye, and there it is again.

What on earth is it???

I guess you have found something like the picture below

It is called lacrimal punctum
which is the site for the drainage of your tears

Normal eye has two puncta, one on lower eyelid and one on upper eyelid
both are located at the nasal side
but the upper one is more difficult to be found

once your eye blinks
tear will be pumped into the puncta
then it will drain to the lacrimal sac
where tear will be reabsorbed

if there is excressive tear
then it will flow through nasolacrimal canal and reach the nose
where it will evapourate
