Answer : Using Opthalmic Sponges.

Explanation : Collecting tears with the trivial methods is often not possible as to avoid the tear reflex is a different problem. Tear collection with glass capillaries are the most widely used method for taking samples and is considered to be the best method for avoiding tear reflex.

To collect tears are from elderly people or small children's who had difficulties with glass capillaries; for them ophthalmic sponges was used.

This kind of opthalmic sponges proved to be well tolerated by the patient, especially in small children's, and also enabled standardization of the tear collection in terms of volume.

I would say that the most efficient method of collecting tears from an elderly woman would be to tell her something very sad that pulled at her heart strings such as say discussing the death of her husband if they had a good relationship and he died a painful death, say, as an example.

What might happen within an ecosystem if the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits?
ozzi
If the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits then the snakes would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All of the other animals in the food web would also die due to their lack of food supplies. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.
