Your tear duct (drain) can become clogged, or even blocked. (dacryostenosis) Your ophthalmologist can do a simple test to see if this is the case. It can often be corrected in the office by "flushing" out the duct, sometimes it requires surgery. (dacryocystorhinostomy, or DCR for short)
Allergies cause tearing, but is almost always associated with itching and/or irritation. There are drops available over the counter called Naphcon-A or Opcon-A, they used to be prescription, use them twice a day.
Dryness can cause irritation, which causes what's called 'reflex tearing'. The simple way to find out if it is due to dryness is to lubricate the eye constantly with artificial lubricants for a day. If it relieves the symptoms, you know that was the cause.
Tearing can also be associated with a cold, the swelling in the tissue arund the eyes and nose can close off the drain. If you are able to take a decongestant, it should help.
My left eye waters constantly! I asked my doctor why this was happening.... He told me it was allergies... Nothing more.... I use a box of tissue a week at work alone drying my eye.... He told me to take Zyrtec, but it hasnt worked yet.
could be conjunctivitis see your doc or put some eyes ointments and a patch over it, for a while, to give it a rest.
