Common Eye Disease

No matter how much care you take of your eyes, you will from time to time encounter some kind of eye problems. While some of these problems cause very little harm to the eyes, some may lead to permanent blindness. It is always advisable to consult the doctor.

Watery Eyes

Watery eyes, or epiphora, happen when eyes produce a surplus of tears, or in other words, when eyes make more tears than they can efficiently drain. This may be due to overproduction of tears, a complication with drainage, or both.

What Causes Watery Eyes?

There are several causes for watery eyes including

  • allergies
  • blepharitis
  • blockage of the tear duct
  • conjunctivitis
  • environmental factors
  • foreign objects,
  • your body’s natural response to dry eyes.
Symptom of Watery Eyes

A symptom of watery eyes is an overflow of tears onto the face.

Treatment for Watery Eyes

Watery eyes are not necessarily a medical condition, but if they are persistent, ask an eye care professional for an examination. There could be an underlying cause you are unaware of (such as dry eye, in which case you may need artificial tears or eye drops), or a blockage of the tear ducts – both of which your doctor can help you with.
