Watery eyes are generally caused by blockage of the nasolacrimal duct, narrowing of the nasolacrimal duct, or dacryocystitis. If there is an increase in secretions and redness of the eyes along with watery eyes, it may be conjunctivitis or conjunctivitis-related. If there is a sensation of foreign bodies and dryness in the eyes along with watery eyes, it is often caused by dry eye syndrome or visual fatigue. Sudden watery eyes may be caused by a foreign object entering the eye and stimulating it.

Determining the Specific Cause

Exposure to cold air, strong winds, or irritating odors can all lead to tearing in the eyes. These are mostly common physiological phenomena. One should try to avoid the source of irritation and not necessarily seek targeted treatment. If occasional tearing occurs, observation for two to three days is recommended. If there are no subsequent related symptoms, there is no need to worry, indicating that the eyes are fine. Pathological conditions such as conjunctivitis, trachoma, tumors, and other eye diseases can also lead to frequent tearing. Of course, some common chronic eye inflammation can also cause this problem. In such cases, early attention and treatment are necessary.

Timely Consultation

Frequent tearing often indicates a certain problem with our eyes, which may represent a certain obstacle in the tear drainage function of the human body. Therefore, timely hospital examination is necessary, as it may be caused by chronic eye inflammation or ocular lesions. Early detection and treatment can reduce harm.

Taking Protective Measures

Patients with watery eyes should take protective measures, such as wearing protective glasses, avoiding going out in windy weather, and not looking directly at the sun.
