Constant eye watering, even when closed, is often a sign of "dry eye syndrome," where your eyes overproduce tears to compensate for dryness or poor tear quality. It can also be caused by allergies or a blocked tear duct.\n\nTo find relief, you can try preservative-free lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) to soothe the eyes. If you suspect allergies, over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops containing ketotifen may help. Applying a warm compress over closed eyelids for 5 minutes can also ease irritation. Since this is persistent, please see an eye care professional for an evaluation to ensure you get the correct treatment.

Your evening eye redness is likely due to environmental irritation from dust, wind, and dry air during your long commute. To relieve this, you can use lubricating eye drops (artificial tears containing carboxymethylcellulose or sodium hyaluronate) 3 to 4 times a day to keep your eyes hydrated and washed of irritants. Avoid 'redness-relief' drops containing vasoconstrictors, as they can cause rebound redness with prolonged use. Wearing protective glasses or wrap-around sunglasses during your commute and applying a cool compress afterwards will also greatly help. If you experience pain, discharge, or changes in your vision, please consult an eye specialist.
