Why do my eyes start watering when I look at the sun or bright light?

Watering of the eyes when looking at the sun or bright light is usually due to light sensitivity (photophobia). Bright light stimulates the nerves in your eyes, causing reflex tearing to protect them. It can happen if you have dry eyes, eye strain, a mild allergy, or are spending too much time on screens. Wearing sunglasses outdoors and using lubricating eye drops may help. If you have frequent discomfort, it is best to see an eye doctor for a check-up.

Sometimes my eyes feel very dry, what eye drops or medicine should I use?

For occasional dry eyes, I recommend starting with over-the-counter preservative-free artificial tears (such as Systane or Refresh) used 4 to 6 times a day. These safely lubricate your eyes without causing irritation. You can also find relief by staying hydrated, using a humidifier, and practicing the 20-20-20 rule (looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes of screen time). Avoid direct airflow from fans or AC. If dryness is persistent, painful, or affects your vision, please see an eye doctor for a personalized assessment.
