Answers:

Constant tearing may be caused by overproduction or underdrainage.

Over production would typically be caused by things like allergies, dry eyes (yes when they get dry, you tear more as a reflex), light sensitivity from eye disease or medications, presence of foreign bodies (e.g. misdirected lashes) and so forth.

Underdrainage may be caused by things like clogged nasolacrimal ducts or from lid malpositions.

Make sure the eye specialist you've been seeing is a board certified ophthalmologist. They should get a complete medical history, and do a thorough eye exam to look for the cause of your tearing. If everything seems okay on examination, they should perform a dilation and irrigation of your naso-lacrimal duct system to make sure that the ducts are open.

If you want to cut to the chase, there are sub-specialized ophthalmologists that are fellowship trained to deal with, among other things, such issues as diagnosis and treatment of patients with excessive tearing. They are called oculplastics specialists / surgeons. You should be able to find them in the phone book, or your ophthalmologist / optometrist should be able to direct you to one.

Good Luck.
