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.
me too but it stopped awhile ago.
It could be that your eye is getting dry. When your eyes become dry they produce more tears. Once your eye starts to water it is too late to help with lubricating eye drops. I have this problem and I use nightime lubricating gel. It help my eyes stay moist all day.
