Eye Concerns

Watery eyes are caused by excessive tear production.  Sometimes it seems that your eyes tear constantly, yet you have no known allergies, no cold, and no overwhelming concerns. You have watery eyes.

What are the causes?

Watery eyes are caused either by excessive tear production or by improper drainage of the tear ducts due to a blockage, including scarring caused by chronic sinusitis or an injury to the nose.

How can it be treated?

You should visit an eye doctor, who may begin by probing and irrigating your tear ducts to remove any blockages. If the problem is excess tearing, your doctor may recommend eye drops that contain an antihistamine.
