Watery eyes

Watery eyes occur when the eyes produce excess tears or when tears cannot drain properly. While often a minor annoyance, persistent watery eyes can blur vision and cause skin irritation around the eyes. The cause may be increased tear production or blocked tear drainage.

Common Causes of Watery eyes

  • Allergies (pollen, dust, pet dander)
  • Dry eye syndrome (reflex tearing)
  • Blocked tear ducts
  • Conjunctivitis (eye infection)
  • Cold, wind, or bright light exposure

  • Watery eyes with pain or redness, watery eyes with vision changes, persistent tearing lasting weeks, discharge that is thick or coloured, watery eyes with swelling around the eye
