Watery eyes are very common and usually not a cause for concern. Often, they are actually caused by dry eyes where your eyes overcompensate by producing extra tears or mild allergies. For dryness, you can use over-the-counter lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) containing carboxymethylcellulose or propylene glycol. If allergies are the trigger (usually accompanied by itching), antihistamine eye drops like ketotifen can help. Applying a clean, warm compress over closed eyes for a few minutes also provides great relief. If your symptoms persist, or if you experience pain, redness, or vision changes, please consult an eye specialist for a tailored evaluation.
