  • What is the reason for constant watering of the eyes?

    Tearing can have many causes, from reflex tearing due to an irritant such as a lash, to dryness of the eye. If the tearing is constant, it could also be a blocked tear drainage issue. Typically, excess tears will drain into two small openings near the nose on the lids. If the drainage path is blocked, then tears will run down the face instead. Thank you, Frank J. Mares, M.D. READ MORE
