Watery eyes

What causes watery eyes?

Eyes may water either because of too much tear secretion – caused by irritation of the eye, Blepharitis or allergy – or because of a blockage in the tear drainage system. Symptoms of watery eyes include blurred vision, irritation of the skin around the eye and infection of the tear drainage system. It can sometimes prevent people from wearing make-up and potentially causes embarrassment.

How to treat watery eyes

Treatment for watery eyes depends on the severity of the condition. Surgery may be recommended to unblock the tear duct.
