I had the lower eyelid surgery on my drippy left eyelid. It did a great job except during allergy season. My husband uses pataday. I will try it during allergy season!
I recently started getting a really teary right eye but only right after waking up. Over the day, my eyes start to hurt, get red. I look a lot at computer screens, but this never was a problem before. In my right eye I would even get a menthol like sensation, which I figured was due to the tear film evaporating too quickly, so I started doing hot compresses, massaging and cleaning the eyelids which almost completely eliminated that issue. Still don't understand how my eyes, even with constant artificial tear drops, can get so inflamed (if that is the correct term). My eyes don't feel tired, and there are no muscles in the eyeball, so why does that happen?
I bro I have one dout 6 month I visited eye hospital . My eye problem is allergic conjunctivitis eye cwhite part brownish colour ..doctor 3 droprs use telled .winolap. just tear ..doctors telled 3 month use .but I used 15 days next work busy I missed and stopped. No issue this time .but I use correctly clearly cure na .this time that drops continue is good .or doctor ask .
I had an accident 2 months ago that caused a bruise on my nose. There was no fracture, but it was swollen and bruised, and about 1 month and a half ago, tears began to flow all day. I think the blockage was due to internal scarring, my ophthalmologist recommended surgery, which I am reluctant to do.
july 2023 my right eye randomly began watering profusely everyday all day, only briefly ceasing for a couple hours when i was distracted (movie, cleaning, etc). i also noticed slight swelling in my puncta, but no irritation. after numerous failed natural remedies and massaging techniques, i took it to God in prayer🙏🏽. i never visited an ophthalmologist bc i didn’t want to become reliant upon medication to live a normal life again. i got covid december 2023 so i boiled LEMON/ORANGE PEELS AND SALT in a pot of water. not only did that alleviate the covid symptoms, but by the next day, my tear production/draining rate was regulated!!🙌🏽looking back, there may have been an infection, but the lack of irritation confuses me🤔whatever it was, i thank God that’s over and i didn’t have to invest time and money on antibiotics and possible side effects. sharing this under vidoes i visited when i needed help to help others❤️
My eyes frequently water (lots of tears down my face) when I’m outside in cold, windy weather. Doesn’t even have to be windy. I have to have a tissue to dab my face, … aggravating!
Wind can definitely contribute to tearing of the eyes. Wind will dry out the tear film and irritate the eyes - leading to tear production. And cold weather also stimulates tear production (the corneal nerves are more sensitive to cold).
@@DoctorEyeHealth what would you do. I have been to so many eye doctors and bought everything. I live in Germany and now planning to go to Turkey for treatment
Same here. Finally, one of the eye doctors I follow suggested to use Zenia chamber eyeglasses. I first bought the Zenia UV sunglasses, $285. Then after my prescription eye exam is done, I will order the Zenia clear prescription chamber eyeglasses, > $285 due to prescription & type. But my insurance can cover up to $550. It really works. I also bought Lastacaft from CVS. Finally ordered VitA-Pos eye cream manufactured in Germany, distributed in Israel.
I am at wits-end with my watery eyes. I can't wear eye makeup because of it, people ask if I'm crying lots, I wake up tearing so i sleep with tissues nearby, etc... just miserable! I went to school for Opticianry so i knew lots of potential issues and have tried some of the otc "fixes" to no avail so i will try some of these treatments but it seems like maybe a trip to the doctor is in order. Thank you for making these videos! Finding answers for watery eyes- alone (that don't present with redness, itchiness, allergy symptoms, swelling, etc) has been trying, to say the least. So yes, thank you for taking the time to post these videos, they are much appreciated!
My dad has the same problem from his left side of eye and is being told it's from bells palsynhe had last year. He takes the eye drops but says they dont work.
@ejuarez8252 Does your dad's Eye tear duct is Open Or Blocked? Cause blocked tear duct Can causes watery Eyes alot. I'm Also Suffering from this in my left Eye and unable to find the root Cause of this 😢
My eyes have been watering since I got oil in them from a bursted transmission hose at a Caterpillar factory. This happened in the year of 2006. I have been to multiple eye doctors and the diagnosis has always been "dry eyes", however none of the refresh eyedrops medicines has ever worked. None of the doctors have ever even considered that tear duct irrigation or any other thing you have discussed here in your video. I would really love to have this nuisance fixed! I have been walking around with some type of handkerchief, napkin, paper towel in my pocket for eye drying for 18 years!
Hello Dr. Where are you at? I have been suffering with severe watery eyes and can’t seem to find a doctor to help me. They’ve prescribed all kinds of eye drops and also OTC ones. Nothing has worked. Please help me I’m so exhausted
My (one) right eye has been constantly draining on the OUTER corner of my eye only. I had it last month for about a week now it’s come back. I’m perplexed!
You are exactly right. My doctor gave me drops called Systane and stated that I had dry eyes. I have constant daily irritating eye 👁 that looks like a film of puss or mucus. He also gave me antibiotics for 10days 3x per day. No change.. Drops started 6 months ago and it's horrible.
My eyes are constantly wet. I can wear any eye make up. I’ve blinked more than most people all my life. Oddly, the only thing that seems to make my eyes less wet is wearing contacts. I think the excess tears help the contacts or something? Anyway, when I’m wearing contacts, I’m not constantly blotting my eyes. Otherwise it’s relentless.
Brilliant video thank you Dr. I have a watery right eye that is storing the tears at the punctum and is causing inflammation ..I think it's blocked tear duct..video is very good ..thank you 🙏
Well we do not blink as often when using digital devices, so then the eyes are more likely to dry out - then we reflex produce tears to fix it. That could be involved.
Exactly ! This happened to me with my left eye, my optometrist said it was possibly a corneal scar and to wipe it away, then it kept happening and 8 months later it was beginning to wear me down, so I returned and asked for an opthalmologist referral. The optometrist referral discussed the corneal scar and said I needed advice on how to manage dry eyes. I even asked if I could get dry eye in just one eye and was told yes. I saw 3 different doctors and they were focussed on the corneal scar and I was told to take dry eye drops, nasal spray, shown how to clean my eyes properly and advised to limit computer time if I could. My opthalmologist test results even said I had a narrow left tear duct, but this was mostly ignored by subsequent drs.. Finally a fourth dr did the injection to test for blockage and its been so much better since, still a little watery but nowhere near what it was. I’m scheduled for a consultation for surgery in a few months. This is where they redirect the flow of tears in a different way through the nose. But if it stays like this after the injection test for blockage, I may not go ahead with surgery.
Here’s my issue. I guess I’ll have to see a specialist but my left eye is watery till afternoon early evening then it turns to stringy gel and sleepys accumulates both corners of my eye. When I wake, crusted eye. Only my left. It started a couple months after the gel on the back of my eye separated from the retina. No tear but retina specialist has monitored. This video is closest to my symptoms but no one talks about the gunk. And yes, I do the whole protocol, wash, compress, wipes, drops, even the toothbrush thing. Cool mist at night. It helps, not near as bad, some days are better than others. Factors, quality, quantity of sleep, time reading, knitting, computer, tv etc. I’m 62. I do not have allergies
Hmmm, being that it is only the left eye that has the problem, it does sound like something could be going on. Perhaps something inflammatory. I have not done a video on mucous fishing syndrome yet but that is another thing that can complicate everything. It sounds like you do really well trying to take care of your eyes.
@@DoctorEyeHealth TY. I pretty much do most everything you recommend. I guess I’ll need to find a specialist. My regular eye Dr put me on steroid drops for a couple weeks, they both were very inflamed. They got better but the left still continues to give me problems. Ik it’s difficult to answer wo seeing it but it helps. TY again
I have had watery eyes for about 3 weeks now.. I took Claritin and allergy eye drops.. but still my eyes are watery. It’s sooooo annoying.. any other suggestions as to another eye drop that might work? I made an appointment with an eye dr so let’s see 🤷🏻♀️
I've been told that I have dry eye, not viscous enough? They use to drain a little, now it's ridiculous. The only solution? Tear gel. Now I'm sure that inside my nasal passage I have what could be a calcium build up. So I don't think flushing will work. It's definitely blocked on one side. Had my nose broken when I was two, and for a few years as an adult had severe sinus infections. Solution that didn't work was nasonex, in fact made it worse. Went to natural remedies... Oil of oregano, garlic in the saline solution. That took two years of flushing before I felt normal again.
Hi there, thank you for your informative videos and sorry for the long message. When I wake up my eyes are red and they start watering within 30 minutes. If I got outside, it doesn't matter what time of the year, they will immediately tear up and the tears come out of the sides of the eyes like you show in this video. When I was a kid it would only happen if I was outside on a cool/cold windy day. Something about the cool/cold air hitting my eye balls would cause them to tear up, but once I reached my 30s, I began to have watery eyes every morning after waking up and starting my morning routine. It doesn't matter if I travel to another climate or what, if I'm indoors or outdoors, etc. my eyes tear up first thing in the morning so I don't think this is an allergy issue. After crying for about 10-15 minutes it eventually stops, but it's so annoying to have to wipe the tears off my face while I'm eating a bowl of cereal or explain to someone witnessing it that I'm not crying about anything, that it's some weird reaction my eyes do every morning. Anyway, I've been researching this and recently got around to seeing an eye doctor at an eye clinic where I live and he couldn't find anything "wrong" with my eyes. After all kinds of tests (and probably a big bill), he said they were very healthy. What a relief! The doctor believed me that my eyes tear up every morning, but since he wasn't there to witness it he can't really diagnosis it. I know it's not supposed to be like this so I'm researching anything and everything that I can about it and I'm wondering now if it's related to my Rosacea. I was diagnosed by a dermatologist in my 30s and I've come across some websites that explain my symptoms as Ocular Rosacea. Who would be able to confirm this? Do I need to find another eye doctor that's willing to go deeper or do I need to see a dermatologist to confirm it? Thank you.
My right eye has sph- 2.50 with cyl.- 0.75 with axis 160 but left has sph -3.00 with cyl -1.00 with axis 10 But in glass left axis is 4 Should I change my glasss.. Will it affect my vision
Thanks, Doc. I used your Amazon link for the Manuka Honey eyedrops. It arrived in one day, and I just used it for the first time. Yes it stung, but there was immediate improvement in the blurriness. You probably just saved me a visit to the doctor. #FeedTheAlgorithm
Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know! I hope it continues to help you! Either way, I think it is still a good idea to let your doctor know you are using it and follow up with them accordingly. But thank you for watching, commenting and everything! It means a lot. Cheers.
What do the honey eye drops do exactly? I have water in my cornea and I'm trying to find something that will remove it. My vision has been cloudy for 2 months now. I'm limited in the things I do and it's been very frustrating.
After watching this I know believe that I have a tear duct blockage. Right eye has recurring watering which turns into matting and some mucus discharge. I've been treated for pink eye several rimes due to this. White of the eye stays white during a flare up. Been dealing with it for a couple of years now.
Hi what type of eye Dr would I call upon if there may be blockage in my eye ? My right eye waters 85% of the day weather indoors or out . Especially bad in windy situations … Thank you for any helpful info !
My wife has had eye issues since she was born. Cataracts and glaucoma. When she was in her mid 20s, the glaucoma was at the level of an 80 year old. She is currently recovering from a Lamellar sclerokeratoplasty in her left eye. It's been close to a month since the surgery, which was deemed a success. Her eye pressure is normal and she has very little pain. Her color vision has returned. Being someone who doesn't know much about the eye, the paper I was given to read ( Taiwan journal of Ophthalmology. Volume 9. Issue 3. July - Sept 2019) was very confusing. And I was very distracted by the images. Can you do a video on this surgery and help me figure it out? Thanks. I love your videos. I've only recently found your channel.
Wow thank you so much for sharing, Phil. That is a pretty specific and every time I show surgical procedures in videos TH-cam gets angry at me that I am showing "gore" or "disturbing images". But in short, Lamellar sclerokeratoplasty, is a procedure where the front part of the eye (cornea and part of the white part of the eye) is replaced with a clear donor cornea including the limbus (edge where the cornea and sclera come in contact with each-other) and part of the trabecular meshwork (the inner drainage canal of the eye). This is for people with endstage glaucoma. Hope things are going well for her and your family.
I think I have both dry eyes and then a clogged tearduct on one side 🥲 I had the dilation a couple times but it hasn’t helped me much. My doctor said I could have a little tube permanently inserted but that scared me 🙊 So for now I’ve resumed to be the girl that gets constantly asked why I’m crying.
Ever since my nasal surgery, my right eye keeps tearing up constantly. When I press near the corner of my eye, I hear a watery sound, and fluid (sometimes yellow) leaks from my nose. No pain or fever, but it’s tiring to keep wiping my eye all the time
My eyes begin water profusely in the evening upon feeling it’s time to go to sleep. Does fatigue contribute to eye dryness that stimulates a reaction, or overreaction with excessive tearing?
My one eye has been constantly tearing from the OUTER edge not the corner of my eye. Anyone else have this issue? He didn’t mention watering from the outer edge of the eye.
Why do my eyes water a lot in cold weather? More so my left eye rather than my right eye. Even the slightest breeze causes my eyes to water. It looks like I am crying. My eye doc says that everybody's eyes water. What can I do about it?
Please reply Doctor ❤❤❤ from india i have a question 1)Blindflod can reduce dry eyes lagophthalmos? 2)how many months can i use blindflod lagophthalmos ? 3)i am using carboxymethylcellulose sodium lubricant eye drops from i week symptoms are not cured for how many months can i use this eye drops or suggest eye drops and how many times a day ? 4)which ointment should i use for lagophthalmos and how many months to use?
My left eye feels itchy and burns in the corner next to my nose. My eye doctor did some test and determined it to be dry eyes so he told me to put Fresh Eyes drops. I went last year during the Summer. It helped but I’m noticing when I wake up in the morning my eye burns in the corner and clustered something that I had not experienced before. I’m taking 200 mg of a RA pill at night and my RA doctor had me to get a clearance with eye doctor first. I was told that it was ok to take it but it seems like ever since I started this medication is when my eye problem started with the burning of the eyes and redness and sometimes puffiness. Inflammation is in my body period which is a common factor. I’m 67. Sometimes I get blurred eyes too.
Good question! I believe this occurs due to muscle contractions of the eyelids and facial muscles. Stimulation of the facial nerve can stimulate the lacrimal gland and when yawning the eyelids close tightly, which may force tears to the drainage canal but instead my overflow. Not sure if there is any way to stop it from happening, but worth asking your local eye doctor if there is anything wrong with your tear drainage.
Have had such a frustrating three months of my right eye constantly tearing out of nowhere! Had the irrigation procedure done but it did not help. I’m not sure what to do next but I’m getting married soon and want to get this resolved. 😭
I had surgery in March because my tear duct (right eye) was clogged. He put stints in my ducts and I had relief for a few months and then it clogged again. The dr suggests doing surgery again. This has been going on for years and I do not want any more surgeries. It’s affecting my life and I’m not sure what to do at this point.
I’ve been told that I have clogged oil glands and I’ve been on steroids now for almost 2 weeks. My eyes are very irritated and dry and my doctor wants me to get tested for Sjogrens. This has been a pain in the butt for many years with my eyes I also use preservative free dry eyedrops. Any information you can share would be great. Your video was very informative thanks for sharing
My allergies and narrower sinuses on one side from a deviated septum combine forces to cause this pretty much every year. SO annoying! Looking down puts a huge tear drop on my glasses, and dabbing salty tears off my face all day wreaks havoc on my skin. Diligent use of Pataday and Flonase last year kept it under control for the most part though.
Yes, dabbing tears off the face does irritate the skin. I found a solution that works for me. I carry the soft eyeglass cleaning cloths to dab the tears when they appear. The cloths are very soft and easy on the skin.
I am almost 70. I have RA. My eyes tear all the time. I understand RA is a systemic inflammatory disease. Could my tearducts be blocked from inflammation ? Could steriod eye drops help ? Thanks in advance !
Dr. Allen, you said it in a video once but I forgot! What is the condition where the main symptom is lots of red on the upper eyeball under the upper lid? Where when you gently lift up the upper lid and look on the top of the eyeball. What condition is that a symptom of? It’s not OR or blepharitis. Will you refresh my mind please? 😊
Hi just finished watching your video. So I have Cancer so at this point what can I do to get relief from my watery eyes. I have lost my eye lashes due to chemo. Any suggestions? Would be appreciated please.
Absolutely the best, clearest and most comprehensive coverage of the issue I have found online. A+ to Dr. Eye Health. From your experience, for adults is it possible to resolve blocked bi lateral tear ducts with massage?
Joseph. I don't do social media so... I have often wondered. How are toddlers prescription lenses prescribed? Obviously eye charts are useless with the prevocal ones, yet still I occasionally see them with glasses.
Hi Doctor! Love your videos, always covering all the aspects of a condition. I think allergic rhinitis is one thing you might not explained in the video which can also cause watery eye. Can you please tell me it's differential symptom as well. ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks 4 sharing this info..I've personally had the watery eyes issue..since maybe 7th or 8th grade..thankfully not like everyday..But randomly throughout each month..I'd have moments of watery eyes.. specifically like if it's windy outside or even windy inside of a Building that has the air on..not all the time but sometimes. And often the sun outside can cause me 2 squint my eyes sometimes when I'm outside, due 2 like my eyes being sensitive 2 the light..again not all the time but sometimes.
I need help!! Have had red, watery eyes for going on a year. My Dr put me on Loteprednol, a soft steroid. Was working well for like 5 months then stopped. It raised my eye pressure so they had to go. Now I'm back to square one. They've gotten worse since I had a virus a month ago even on the drops. I look like I'm crying all the time , and they're really red. Dr gave me an eye drop for inflammation that you use after cataract surgery. Bad reaction. Now all they want to offer is allergy drops. HELP. This is driving me nuts.
My Daughter is Six. She has has gut issues and reflux since she was born. When she has a cold her Eyes run like she is crying. During viruses she has LPR reflux. She is now having a course of steriod drops for her nose, from the consultant. Teachers think she can't see the board at school. Wat is the connection between, gut issues, LPR and Eye problems? She will have reflux mostly all winter in UK. So Sep to March. For 6 years now.
What if eyes get very watery when exposed to wind? Like indoors eyes are fine, but outside with wind (even walking speed wind), eyes tear up quite a lot.
I have watery eyes now. It's very itchy. I have been using glaucoma drop for 3 years. Since last month, I have got that symptom. Eye specialist told me that I have dry eye. So she prescribed me Refresh Drop do warm massage by covering eyes.Now I can't stay incomputer anymore and light is so sensitive for me. Is it Ok to discontinue Glaucoma drop?
I’ve had teary eyes since birth. I’m 33 now. My eyes are crying most of the time. Sometimes a little, sometimes alot. They cry for no reason, or they are triggered by wind, dry air, me yawning, me laughing a little ( but it looks like im crying out laughing) or even when I drink a coca cola (it tickles my eyes). I’ve had the blockage test done twice in my life and nothing is blocked in the ducts, they are fine. Ive also had botox inserted in both lacrimal glands and it didnt help. Eye drops never worked. Eye sprays help in the moment but not in long term. The only thing that seemed to help was cortisone eye drops. But because of the nature of cortisone I cant use it long term. Ive never had a diagnosis, ophtalmologists have no idea what I have and how to treat. Do you have any ideas?
I have this honestly all my life just little laughs wind even yeah pop that’s fizzy n shit I just tear up I hate it and I’f I’m dying laughing like my whole face is soaked I feel u
My eyes have been puffy for more than 2 weeks. I’ve seen a doctor for it and they said it was just allergies. But my allergy pills aren’t working and my eyes do not hurt nor itch. I wake up with puffy eyes every morning that creates additional eye creases, making my eyes extra big and puffy. They are super watery and I have major eye crusts in the morning. I do not know what is going on!!!
I never had a problem until I was diagnosed with thyroid eye disease, I ended up getting bilateral orbital decompression surgery. I had the surgery because it messed with my self esteem, although my eyes weren’t as bad as a lot of people who have the disease, not only does it change the way you look, but it makes your eyes feel gritty and watery.. even though the surgery fixed how my eyes look, once in a while my eyes feel like there is something in them, and contact lenses have helped so much! But my left eye waters to the point that I can’t wear makeup and my eyelid gets red and itchy, I’m so tired of it. My eye doctor suggested alaway preservative free eye gtts, and they helped so much!! But of course I can’t find them anymore 🤦🏼♀️ ugh
Therez a video showing the path oral fluids can take to reach the inside of the skull and reach the brain or eyes . I have to locate it because it was very powerful . I think therez another one done about ENT ER lectures connecting eye with oral issues .
I have gone to 4 different eye doctors and none of them have diagnosed my eye issue correctly yet. First I do use a sleep app machine, I'm 51 and over weight. I wake up in the morning and everything is like cloudy for at least the first hour. Then my eyes will water uncontrollably for about another hour. Then throughout the day I'm battling with some type of white gooey substance that makes my left eye blurry. I will rinse my eye and this gooey substance will come out, but it comes back within 2 hours. I have been told that I have eye allergies so I use pataday eye drops, and I also have been told by one eye doctor I have the beginning of dry eye and I have been using this stuff called genteal tears to help. But that's it. And nothing is helping. I have no signs of glocoma or any of those more serious eye problems. I have had glasses since I was 5. Please help. Could you give me some advice? I love your videos cause you explain everything so well. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us. Prayers and blessings
My eyes constantly water. Most of the times, my eyes water and no tears come out or my right eye drains tears. It’s very annoying because people ask if I’m crying.
Hi! I have suffered extreme watery eyes for several years. My eyes just flow uncontrollably when I’m outside or sometimes indoors too. I don’t have any redness or itch with my eyes at all. Recently I started seeing a “ dry eye specialist “ in NYC. She diagnosed me with MGD & dry eye and I’ve been on this regimen since November with no improvement. Restasis 4 x day, Tobramycin, Loteprednol 3 x day, Doxycycline , heated eye mask 2 x day for 20 minutes. I was tested for allergies with no significant results. Honestly, it’s exhausting! Does this treatment seem reasonable? Should I expect some improvement by now? Could this be something other than dry eyes? Help!!!!
21.07 How are your eyes any better yet ? I’ve had watery eyes for at least ten years . I’m fine in temperature around 18 degrees if it goes cooler then I tend to get watery eyes , wind or breeze especially when cool is bad for me also in shops with air conditioning . I’ve had many drops they don’t work, compresses don’t work. A hot hair dryer can help on my eyes. I hate watery eyes..😊
I have had severe dry eyes for years. In the last 3-5 months I have had my right eye water frequently. But it doesn't drain down it goes up onto my eye lid. It is irritating to my lid. So weird.
Make a video on aloe veras gels on eyes you close your eyes and put the gel on people claim it helps your vision ive ordered it and im gonna try it soon
I had a blowout fracture surgery early last month. Ever since that my has been blurry and teary... tears will come down most of the time and when i push my cheeks up u can see tears stuck in my eye. Whats causing this and what should i do. Thanks
Hi docter. My eyes like to tear whene im talking to someone like just making eye contact my eyes just want to tear, do you maybe know why😥im so embaresed and the think im crying😥and ny eyes sometimes feels dry like in windy or cold weather. Can ypu maybe help me?and im 15.
Watery eyes when I wake up in the morning. Left eye very dry near corner near my nose. Doc said blepharitis back in November. Allergies? Dry eyes? Please help.
Hello Dr. I enjoyed this video. I do have a problem with my left eye tearing and over flowing with tears. Originally I had a large stye. I was out of town and could not get medical care until I got back home. I think I developed an infection along with this stye. I eventually had surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. I was under anesthesia and had a catheter placed in the two inner canthus tear ducts. The catheter stayed in place for a number of days. I returned and the dr removed the catheter. I thought my problem would be resolved, but it was resolved. I recently had cataract surgery of both eyes. The blocked tear duct symptoms of the left eye are really exaggerated now. I try warm packs and massaging the duct. this helps on a very temporary basis. What should I do? What kind of specialist should I see? Thank you so much. Should I expect that a dilation and flush might work. I want to avoid another surgery if possible. Thank you so much!
Had a flare up of my blepharitis and a few blocked glands and have been doing the warm compress and massage etc for four weeks now and it’s still not clearing up in any way any advice please
Pls help🙏 There was a stye in my right eye and it takes almost 1 year to go off So it leaves eye puffiness in my right eye How can i cure this? Pls reply
That is more related to dry eye, as low humidity and wind exposure cause eyes to dry out, also the corneal nerves are more sensitive to cold temps and cause more tearing.
Yes, when the eyes burn like they have sand in the eyes, the eye will produce more tears to compensate. Also when it is bright out, the eyelids squeeze together while squinting and then the tear film will more likely spill over.
I have a question my eyes turned white and started glowing and I could see everything in pitch black darkness but everything was lit up in a blue tint is this normal?
Would any of these cause pain in the side and behind of your eye? I also had irritation and redness & watering of my eye, the left. My eye doctor stated I was having a muscle spasm behind my eye and that my glasses would help, but they have not. I've noticed it does get worse when my neck muscles spasm up, so I'm thinking they could be related, as the neck pain started at the same time I began losing my eyesight about 8 years ago.
That's an interesting question. I know my eyes get red sometimes when taking a shower. I think it may have to do with humidity? or possibly aerosolized fumes of soap or other detergents. I imagine with heat, some particles of soap will become like fumes and irritate the surface of the eye (the oil layer of the tear film will likely break up easily due to the presence of nonpolar lipids) - which increases tear film evaporation leading to dryness and rebound redness and inflammation. Perhaps swimming goggles? Or bath goggles lol?
Doctor my left eye punctum is blocked by a mamberine. This is easily removed by dilation but after a while the mamberine is formed again. The water comes out from the corner of the eye on to the cheeks. The rest of the tear duct passage is otherwise clear. According to my doctors I have allergies due to which the area around punctum gets inflamed and hence the blockage. All sorts of drops have been tried on me. Any suggestions?
I have been dealing with chronic watering in my Left eye as well as chronic sinus infections after a bout with covid 1.5 years ago. I have been to multiple ophthalmologists & ENT's. I had that eye irrigated 3 times, no blockage. Had a CT scan of my sinus. There is 100% an INVERSE relationship between sinus congestion and eye watering. If my sinuses are congested, I will have NO eye watering. If my sinuses are clear the watering will come back. I have asked both ENT's and ophthalmologists about this and they say that makes no sense. During sinus infections I am often taking herbal antibiotics or antifungals like garlic, oregano oil, and sometimes prescription antibiotics. So could it be the antibiotics/antifungals clearing my eye, and if so could I have a fungal infection (underlying candida/ mold) or other type of infection in my eye?? Trying to get to the root cause because no doctor can help me!! Thanks
my opthalmologist suggested I use a nasal spray when I mentioned my nose was often blocked at night (I also have a deviated septum), so there is a connection. She also suggested preservative free dry eye drops, and showed me how to clean my eyes properly, you can buy the special wipes, but a cheaper option is a tiny drop of baby shampoo on a wet cotton make up pad, being very gentle wiping both upper and lower lashes. I do have blockage though.
Have you ever tried any of these treatments?

I had the lower eyelid surgery on my drippy left eyelid. It did a great job except during allergy season.
My husband uses pataday. I will try it during allergy season!
I recently started getting a really teary right eye but only right after waking up. Over the day, my eyes start to hurt, get red. I look a lot at computer screens, but this never was a problem before.
In my right eye I would even get a menthol like sensation, which I figured was due to the tear film evaporating too quickly, so I started doing hot compresses, massaging and cleaning the eyelids which almost completely eliminated that issue.
Still don't understand how my eyes, even with constant artificial tear drops, can get so inflamed (if that is the correct term). My eyes don't feel tired, and there are no muscles in the eyeball, so why does that happen?
I bro I have one dout 6 month I visited eye hospital .

I had an accident 2 months ago that caused a bruise on my nose. There was no fracture, but it was swollen and bruised, and about 1 month and a half ago, tears began to flow all day. I think the blockage was due to internal scarring, my ophthalmologist recommended surgery, which I am reluctant to do.
july 2023 my right eye randomly began watering profusely everyday all day, only briefly ceasing for a couple hours when i was distracted (movie, cleaning, etc). i also noticed slight swelling in my puncta, but no irritation. after numerous failed natural remedies and massaging techniques, i took it to God in prayer🙏🏽. i never visited an ophthalmologist bc i didn’t want to become reliant upon medication to live a normal life again. i got covid december 2023 so i boiled LEMON/ORANGE PEELS AND SALT in a pot of water. not only did that alleviate the covid symptoms, but by the next day, my tear production/draining rate was regulated!!🙌🏽looking back, there may have been an infection, but the lack of irritation confuses me🤔whatever it was, i thank God that’s over and i didn’t have to invest time and money on antibiotics and possible side effects. sharing this under vidoes i visited when i needed help to help others❤️
Thanks Amanda, I guess I will have to try that as well. My left eye has been tearing for almost a month now.
I have lemon, orange peels, and salt. Did you drink it or just steam over your face? Thanks so much for sharing. I hope I see your response soon. ❤
Please reply if you drink lemon and salt or took steam ?
My eyes frequently water (lots of tears down my face) when I’m outside in cold, windy weather. Doesn’t even have to be windy. I have to have a tissue to dab my face, … aggravating!
Dryness/Irritation
Wind can definitely contribute to tearing of the eyes. Wind will dry out the tear film and irritate the eyes - leading to tear production. And cold weather also stimulates tear production (the corneal nerves are more sensitive to cold).
@@DoctorEyeHealth what would you do. I have been to so many eye doctors and bought everything. I live in Germany and now planning to go to Turkey for treatment
My eyes the same you when wind & cold time r
Same here. Finally, one of the eye doctors I follow suggested to use Zenia chamber eyeglasses. I first bought the Zenia UV sunglasses, $285. Then after my prescription eye exam is done, I will order the Zenia clear prescription chamber eyeglasses, > $285 due to prescription & type. But my insurance can cover up to $550. It really works. I also bought Lastacaft from CVS. Finally ordered VitA-Pos eye cream manufactured in Germany, distributed in Israel.
I am at wits-end with my watery eyes. I can't wear eye makeup because of it, people ask if I'm crying lots, I wake up tearing so i sleep with tissues nearby, etc... just miserable! I went to school for Opticianry so i knew lots of potential issues and have tried some of the otc "fixes" to no avail so i will try some of these treatments but it seems like maybe a trip to the doctor is in order. Thank you for making these videos! Finding answers for watery eyes- alone (that don't present with redness, itchiness, allergy symptoms, swelling, etc) has been trying, to say the least. So yes, thank you for taking the time to post these videos, they are much appreciated!
My dad has the same problem from his left side of eye and is being told it's from bells palsynhe had last year. He takes the eye drops but says they dont work.
@ejuarez8252 Does your dad's Eye tear duct is Open Or Blocked? Cause blocked tear duct Can causes watery Eyes alot. I'm Also Suffering from this in my left Eye and unable to find the root Cause of this 😢
@@sherazsultan3764 not sure they day it is from Bells palsy.
You’ve confirmed everything about my teary, watery eye. After a year of watery eye and frequent eye infections, I’m doing a DCR . Thank you.
Hope things go well!
Hello brother! I hope you're doing well.
Will you please tell me that DCR Helped you and Resolved your watery Eyes issue?
I did have watery eyes condition .Underwent minor surgery , it was 12 years ago never had a problem since then 👍😊
What was the minor surgery? Entropion? I may get that. Would love to know if this is what helped you.
No it was not that , good luck with your procedure 😘@@cindyoconnell2471
My eyes have been watering since I got oil in them from a bursted transmission hose at a Caterpillar factory. This happened in the year of 2006. I have been to multiple eye doctors and the diagnosis has always been "dry eyes", however none of the refresh eyedrops medicines has ever worked. None of the doctors have ever even considered that tear duct irrigation or any other thing you have discussed here in your video. I would really love to have this nuisance fixed! I have been walking around with some type of handkerchief, napkin, paper towel in my pocket for eye drying for 18 years!
What's the method to stop this?
Hello Dr. Where are you at? I have been suffering with severe watery eyes and can’t seem to find a doctor to help me. They’ve prescribed all kinds of eye drops and also OTC ones. Nothing has worked. Please help me I’m so exhausted
My (one) right eye has been constantly draining on the OUTER corner of my eye only. I had it last month for about a week now it’s come back. I’m perplexed!
Mine to then I make it worse not keeping my fingers out
You are exactly right. My doctor gave me drops called Systane and stated that I had dry eyes. I have constant daily irritating eye 👁 that looks like a film of puss or mucus. He also gave me antibiotics for 10days 3x per day. No change.. Drops started 6 months ago and it's horrible.
My eyes are constantly wet. I can wear any eye make up. I’ve blinked more than most people all my life. Oddly, the only thing that seems to make my eyes less wet is wearing contacts. I think the excess tears help the contacts or something? Anyway, when I’m wearing contacts, I’m not constantly blotting my eyes. Otherwise it’s relentless.
Brilliant video thank you Dr. I have a watery right eye that is storing the tears at the punctum and is causing inflammation ..I think it's blocked tear duct..video is very good ..thank you 🙏
Topic suggestion - my eyeglass lenses have gone yellow over time. Can this be fixed? Normal? How long should poly lenses last before yellowing?
I have this issue where if I look at my phone in the dark I start to tear up and honestly this video couldn't have been reccomended in a better time
Could be eye strain
Well we do not blink as often when using digital devices, so then the eyes are more likely to dry out - then we reflex produce tears to fix it. That could be involved.
Exactly ! This happened to me with my left eye, my optometrist said it was possibly a corneal scar and to wipe it away, then it kept happening and 8 months later it was beginning to wear me down, so I returned and asked for an opthalmologist referral. The optometrist referral discussed the corneal scar and said I needed advice on how to manage dry eyes. I even asked if I could get dry eye in just one eye and was told yes. I saw 3 different doctors and they were focussed on the corneal scar and I was told to take dry eye drops, nasal spray, shown how to clean my eyes properly and advised to limit computer time if I could. My opthalmologist test results even said I had a narrow left tear duct, but this was mostly ignored by subsequent drs.. Finally a fourth dr did the injection to test for blockage and its been so much better since, still a little watery but nowhere near what it was. I’m scheduled for a consultation for surgery in a few months. This is where they redirect the flow of tears in a different way through the nose. But if it stays like this after the injection test for blockage, I may not go ahead with surgery.
Here’s my issue. I guess I’ll have to see a specialist but my left eye is watery till afternoon early evening then it turns to stringy gel and sleepys accumulates both corners of my eye. When I wake, crusted eye. Only my left. It started a couple months after the gel on the back of my eye separated from the retina. No tear but retina specialist has monitored. This video is closest to my symptoms but no one talks about the gunk. And yes, I do the whole protocol, wash, compress, wipes, drops, even the toothbrush thing. Cool mist at night. It helps, not near as bad, some days are better than others. Factors, quality, quantity of sleep, time reading, knitting, computer, tv etc. I’m 62. I do not have allergies
Hmmm, being that it is only the left eye that has the problem, it does sound like something could be going on. Perhaps something inflammatory. I have not done a video on mucous fishing syndrome yet but that is another thing that can complicate everything. It sounds like you do really well trying to take care of your eyes.
@@DoctorEyeHealth TY. I pretty much do most everything you recommend. I guess I’ll need to find a specialist. My regular eye Dr put me on steroid drops for a couple weeks, they both were very inflamed. They got better but the left still continues to give me problems. Ik it’s difficult to answer wo seeing it but it helps. TY again
Hi, I have very teary eyes (both) and believe it may be caused by my drooping eyelids (I'm 57). Any suggestions?
What eye drops do you recommend for watery eyes over the counter? Thank you Dr for all your informative videos
Great info! The doctor quickly said I need a DCR surgery $55k for the hospital alone!
U saved up 55k?
I have had watery eyes for about 3 weeks now.. I took Claritin and allergy eye drops.. but still my eyes are watery. It’s sooooo annoying.. any other suggestions as to another eye drop that might work? I made an appointment with an eye dr so let’s see 🤷🏻♀️
Hello! I wanted to see how your eyes are since I myself have been struggling with this same issue.
I've been told that I have dry eye, not viscous enough? They use to drain a little, now it's ridiculous. The only solution? Tear gel. Now I'm sure that inside my nasal passage I have what could be a calcium build up. So I don't think flushing will work. It's definitely blocked on one side. Had my nose broken when I was two, and for a few years as an adult had severe sinus infections. Solution that didn't work was nasonex, in fact made it worse. Went to natural remedies... Oil of oregano, garlic in the saline solution. That took two years of flushing before I felt normal again.
Hi there, thank you for your informative videos and sorry for the long message. When I wake up my eyes are red and they start watering within 30 minutes. If I got outside, it doesn't matter what time of the year, they will immediately tear up and the tears come out of the sides of the eyes like you show in this video. When I was a kid it would only happen if I was outside on a cool/cold windy day. Something about the cool/cold air hitting my eye balls would cause them to tear up, but once I reached my 30s, I began to have watery eyes every morning after waking up and starting my morning routine. It doesn't matter if I travel to another climate or what, if I'm indoors or outdoors, etc. my eyes tear up first thing in the morning so I don't think this is an allergy issue. After crying for about 10-15 minutes it eventually stops, but it's so annoying to have to wipe the tears off my face while I'm eating a bowl of cereal or explain to someone witnessing it that I'm not crying about anything, that it's some weird reaction my eyes do every morning. Anyway, I've been researching this and recently got around to seeing an eye doctor at an eye clinic where I live and he couldn't find anything "wrong" with my eyes. After all kinds of tests (and probably a big bill), he said they were very healthy. What a relief! The doctor believed me that my eyes tear up every morning, but since he wasn't there to witness it he can't really diagnosis it. I know it's not supposed to be like this so I'm researching anything and everything that I can about it and I'm wondering now if it's related to my Rosacea. I was diagnosed by a dermatologist in my 30s and I've come across some websites that explain my symptoms as Ocular Rosacea. Who would be able to confirm this? Do I need to find another eye doctor that's willing to go deeper or do I need to see a dermatologist to confirm it? Thank you.
My right eye has sph- 2.50 with cyl.- 0.75 with axis 160 but left has sph -3.00 with cyl -1.00 with axis 10
But in glass left axis is 4
Should I change my glasss.. Will it affect my vision
Thanks, Doc. I used your Amazon link for the Manuka Honey eyedrops. It arrived in one day, and I just used it for the first time. Yes it stung, but there was immediate improvement in the blurriness.
You probably just saved me a visit to the doctor. #FeedTheAlgorithm
Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know! I hope it continues to help you! Either way, I think it is still a good idea to let your doctor know you are using it and follow up with them accordingly. But thank you for watching, commenting and everything! It means a lot. Cheers.
What do the honey eye drops do exactly? I have water in my cornea and I'm trying to find something that will remove it. My vision has been cloudy for 2 months now. I'm limited in the things I do and it's been very frustrating.
After watching this I know believe that I have a tear duct blockage. Right eye has recurring watering which turns into matting and some mucus discharge. I've been treated for pink eye several rimes due to this. White of the eye stays white during a flare up. Been dealing with it for a couple of years now.
Hi what type of eye Dr would I call upon if there may be blockage in my eye ? My right eye waters 85% of the day weather indoors or out . Especially bad in windy situations … Thank you for any helpful info !
Eye makeup can add to this as well. I have tears every nite. I use and small heat bag.
My wife has had eye issues since she was born. Cataracts and glaucoma. When she was in her mid 20s, the glaucoma was at the level of an 80 year old.
She is currently recovering from a Lamellar sclerokeratoplasty in her left eye.
It's been close to a month since the surgery, which was deemed a success. Her eye pressure is normal and she has very little pain. Her color vision has returned.
Being someone who doesn't know much about the eye, the paper I was given to read ( Taiwan journal of Ophthalmology. Volume 9. Issue 3. July - Sept 2019) was very confusing. And I was very distracted by the images.
Can you do a video on this surgery and help me figure it out? Thanks. I love your videos. I've only recently found your channel.
Wow thank you so much for sharing, Phil. That is a pretty specific and every time I show surgical procedures in videos TH-cam gets angry at me that I am showing "gore" or "disturbing images". But in short, Lamellar sclerokeratoplasty, is a procedure where the front part of the eye (cornea and part of the white part of the eye) is replaced with a clear donor cornea including the limbus (edge where the cornea and sclera come in contact with each-other) and part of the trabecular meshwork (the inner drainage canal of the eye). This is for people with endstage glaucoma.
Hope things are going well for her and your family.
I think I have both dry eyes and then a clogged tearduct on one side 🥲 I had the dilation a couple times but it hasn’t helped me much. My doctor said I could have a little tube permanently inserted but that scared me 🙊 So for now I’ve resumed to be the girl that gets constantly asked why I’m crying.
Very informative, didn’t know so much could go wrong with the eyes x
Ever since my nasal surgery, my right eye keeps tearing up constantly. When I press near the corner of my eye, I hear a watery sound, and fluid (sometimes yellow) leaks from my nose. No pain or fever, but it’s tiring to keep wiping my eye all the time
My eyes begin water profusely in the evening upon feeling it’s time to go to sleep. Does fatigue contribute to eye dryness that stimulates a reaction, or overreaction with excessive tearing?
This is exactly what exactly my problem is!!
It only happens whenever I take off makeup.(I am very gentle about it) I don’t wear makeup often either. There’s also a slight burn sensation too
Is the burn sensation from the makeup too?
My one eye has been constantly tearing from the OUTER edge not the corner of my eye. Anyone else have this issue? He didn’t mention watering from the outer edge of the eye.
he did mention a condition when the tears don’t fall in the corner of the eye, watch it again.
Why do my eyes water a lot in cold weather? More so my left eye rather than my right eye. Even the slightest breeze causes my eyes to water. It looks like I am crying. My eye doc says that everybody's eyes water. What can I do about it?
Same problem!!
Your doctor … All eyes water , yes, but some a lot more than others. 🙈
Please reply

4)which ointment should i use for lagophthalmos and how many months to use?
How can we flush naso lacrimal system? What are the steps or procedures
My left eye feels itchy and burns in the corner next to my nose. My eye doctor did some test and determined it to be dry eyes so he told me to put Fresh Eyes drops. I went last year during the Summer. It helped but I’m noticing when I wake up in the morning my eye burns in the corner and clustered something that I had not experienced before. I’m taking 200 mg of a RA pill at night and my RA doctor had me to get a clearance with eye doctor first. I was told that it was ok to take it but it seems like ever since I started this medication is when my eye problem started with the burning of the eyes and redness and sometimes puffiness. Inflammation is in my body period which is a common factor. I’m 67. Sometimes I get blurred eyes too.
Hi, Doc! My eyes water when I yawn. Why is that? Also, is there anyway to stop that from happening? Thank you for your amazing, useful content.
Good question! I believe this occurs due to muscle contractions of the eyelids and facial muscles. Stimulation of the facial nerve can stimulate the lacrimal gland and when yawning the eyelids close tightly, which may force tears to the drainage canal but instead my overflow.
Not sure if there is any way to stop it from happening, but worth asking your local eye doctor if there is anything wrong with your tear drainage.
it's makes me see better for a second 🤔
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you
Have had such a frustrating three months of my right eye constantly tearing out of nowhere! Had the irrigation procedure done but it did not help. I’m not sure what to do next but I’m getting married soon and want to get this resolved. 😭
Hi there. Just wanted to know if you got better. What helped you? Thanks
surgery is the next option I believe. if its a blockage.
I had surgery in March because my tear duct (right eye) was clogged. He put stints in my ducts and I had relief for a few months and then it clogged again. The dr suggests doing surgery again. This has been going on for years and I do not want any more surgeries. It’s affecting my life and I’m not sure what to do at this point.
I’ve been told that I have clogged oil glands and I’ve been on steroids now for almost 2 weeks. My eyes are very irritated and dry and my doctor wants me to get tested for Sjogrens. This has been a pain in the butt for many years with my eyes I also use preservative free dry eyedrops. Any information you can share would be great. Your video was very informative thanks for sharing
My allergies and narrower sinuses on one side from a deviated septum combine forces to cause this pretty much every year. SO annoying! Looking down puts a huge tear drop on my glasses, and dabbing salty tears off my face all day wreaks havoc on my skin.
Diligent use of Pataday and Flonase last year kept it under control for the most part though.
Yes, dabbing tears off the face does irritate the skin. I found a solution that works for me. I carry the soft eyeglass cleaning cloths to dab the tears when they appear. The cloths are very soft and easy on the skin.
I am almost 70. I have RA. My eyes tear all the time. I understand RA is a systemic inflammatory disease. Could my tearducts be blocked from inflammation ? Could steriod eye drops help ? Thanks in advance !
Thanks Doc, I have watery eyes first thing in the morning after waking up everyday. What would you suggest?
Ask your doctor about exposure problems or to check if there is evidence that the eyes don't close all the way while sleeping.
Thank you so much, it's good to know what causes this.
Happy to help!
Dr. Allen, you said it in a video once but I forgot! What is the condition where the main symptom is lots of red on the upper eyeball under the upper lid? Where when you gently lift up the upper lid and look on the top of the eyeball. What condition is that a symptom of? It’s not OR or blepharitis. Will you refresh my mind please? 😊
I started to have tears from Feb,2024. Dr gave me couple of medicine but still is the same. I need help to get recovery.
Take a teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar a day in a glass of warm water. If possible, add a teaspoon of honey.
Hi just finished watching your video. So I have Cancer so at this point what can I do to get relief from my watery eyes. I have lost my eye lashes due to chemo. Any suggestions? Would be appreciated please.
Absolutely the best, clearest and most comprehensive coverage of the issue I have found online. A+ to Dr. Eye Health. From your experience, for adults is it possible to resolve blocked bi lateral tear ducts with massage?
yes I’d be interested if massage works to help blocked tear ducts too

I don't do social media so...
I have often wondered.
How are toddlers prescription lenses prescribed? Obviously eye charts are useless with the prevocal ones, yet still I occasionally see them with glasses.
Hi Doctor! Love your videos, always covering all the aspects of a condition. I think allergic rhinitis is one thing you might not explained in the video which can also cause watery eye. Can you please tell me it's differential symptom as well. ☺️☺️☺️
He did mention allergies :p
Watch till the end.
I have this as well, and have a blurry vision so it's really hard if the two do their thing😅😅 So many tears

Do you have any help for watery eyes due to bells palsy? I use a lot of artificial tears and it doesn't help. My eyelid closes 99% .
Thanks 4 sharing this info..I've personally had the watery eyes issue..since maybe 7th or 8th grade..thankfully not like everyday..But randomly throughout each month..I'd have moments of watery eyes.. specifically like if it's windy outside or even windy inside of a Building that has the air on..not all the time but sometimes. And often the sun outside can cause me 2 squint my eyes sometimes when I'm outside, due 2 like my eyes being sensitive 2 the light..again not all the time but sometimes.
I need help!! Have had red, watery eyes for going on a year. My Dr put me on Loteprednol, a soft steroid. Was working well for like 5 months then stopped. It raised my eye pressure so they had to go. Now I'm back to square one. They've gotten worse since I had a virus a month ago even on the drops. I look like I'm crying all the time , and they're really red. Dr gave me an eye drop for inflammation that you use after cataract surgery. Bad reaction. Now all they want to offer is allergy drops. HELP. This is driving me nuts.
My Daughter is Six. She has has gut issues and reflux since she was born. When she has a cold her
Eyes run like she is crying. During viruses she has LPR reflux. She is now having a course of steriod drops for her nose, from the consultant. Teachers think she can't see the board at school.
Wat is the connection between, gut issues, LPR and Eye problems?
She will have reflux mostly all winter in UK. So Sep to March. For 6 years now.

What if eyes get very watery when exposed to wind?
Like indoors eyes are fine, but outside with wind (even walking speed wind), eyes tear up quite a lot.
That is quite common...you can use some protective eye glasses
Same here

I have watery eyes now. It's very itchy. I have been using glaucoma drop for 3 years. Since last month, I have got that symptom. Eye specialist told me that I have dry eye. So she prescribed me Refresh Drop do warm massage by covering eyes.Now I can't stay incomputer anymore and light is so sensitive for me. Is it Ok to discontinue Glaucoma drop?
I’ve had teary eyes since birth. I’m 33 now. My eyes are crying most of the time. Sometimes a little, sometimes alot. They cry for no reason, or they are triggered by wind, dry air, me yawning, me laughing a little ( but it looks like im crying out laughing) or even when I drink a coca cola (it tickles my eyes). I’ve had the blockage test done twice in my life and nothing is blocked in the ducts, they are fine. Ive also had botox inserted in both lacrimal glands and it didnt help. Eye drops never worked. Eye sprays help in the moment but not in long term.
The only thing that seemed to help was cortisone eye drops. But because of the nature of cortisone I cant use it long term.
Ive never had a diagnosis, ophtalmologists have no idea what I have and how to treat. Do you have any ideas?
I have this honestly all my life just little laughs wind even yeah pop that’s fizzy n shit I just tear up I hate it and I’f I’m dying laughing like my whole face is soaked I feel u
My eyes have been puffy for more than 2 weeks. I’ve seen a doctor for it and they said it was just allergies. But my allergy pills aren’t working and my eyes do not hurt nor itch. I wake up with puffy eyes every morning that creates additional eye creases, making my eyes extra big and puffy. They are super watery and I have major eye crusts in the morning. I do not know what is going on!!!

I never had a problem until I was diagnosed with thyroid eye disease, I ended up getting bilateral orbital decompression surgery. I had the surgery because it messed with my self esteem, although my eyes weren’t as bad as a lot of people who have the disease, not only does it change the way you look, but it makes your eyes feel gritty and watery.. even though the surgery fixed how my eyes look, once in a while my eyes feel like there is something in them, and contact lenses have helped so much! But my left eye waters to the point that I can’t wear makeup and my eyelid gets red and itchy, I’m so tired of it. My eye doctor suggested alaway preservative free eye gtts, and they helped so much!! But of course I can’t find them anymore 🤦🏼♀️ ugh
Has any connection been made between watery eyes starting when a tooth decay begins to get worse?

I have gone to 4 different eye doctors and none of them have diagnosed my eye issue correctly yet. First I do use a sleep app machine, I'm 51 and over weight. I wake up in the morning and everything is like cloudy for at least the first hour. Then my eyes will water uncontrollably for about another hour. Then throughout the day I'm battling with some type of white gooey substance that makes my left eye blurry. I will rinse my eye and this gooey substance will come out, but it comes back within 2 hours. I have been told that I have eye allergies so I use pataday eye drops, and I also have been told by one eye doctor I have the beginning of dry eye and I have been using this stuff called genteal tears to help. But that's it. And nothing is helping. I have no signs of glocoma or any of those more serious eye problems. I have had glasses since I was 5. Please help. Could you give me some advice? I love your videos cause you explain everything so well. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us. Prayers and blessings
My left eye has been slightly teary for years. I also get styes every so often in my left eye only.
My eyes constantly water. Most of the times, my eyes water and no tears come out or my right eye drains tears. It’s very annoying because people ask if I’m crying.
Doc I'm 50 now ..yes my eyes suddenly cry for no reason especially when I talking someone..or I'm outside under the sun ..
Water pours down my face when laughing, mostly on the left side, is this normal?

Hi! I have suffered extreme watery eyes for several years. My eyes just flow uncontrollably when I’m outside or sometimes indoors too. I don’t have any redness or itch with my eyes at all.
Recently I started seeing a “ dry eye specialist “ in NYC. She diagnosed me with MGD & dry eye and I’ve been on this regimen since November with no improvement. Restasis 4 x day, Tobramycin, Loteprednol 3 x day, Doxycycline , heated eye mask 2 x day for 20 minutes. I was tested for allergies with no significant results. Honestly, it’s exhausting! Does this treatment seem reasonable? Should I expect some improvement by now? Could this be something other than dry eyes? Help!!!!

How are your eyes any better yet ?
I’ve had watery eyes for at least ten years . I’m fine in temperature around 18 degrees if it goes cooler then I tend to get watery eyes , wind or breeze especially when cool is bad for me also in shops with air conditioning . I’ve had many drops they don’t work, compresses don’t work. A hot hair dryer can help on my eyes.
I hate watery eyes..😊
I have had severe dry eyes for years. In the last 3-5 months I have had my right eye water frequently. But it doesn't drain down it goes up onto my eye lid. It is irritating to my lid. So weird.

Hello Dr.
I enjoyed this video. I do have a problem with my left eye tearing and over flowing with tears. Originally I had a large stye. I was out of town and could not get medical care until I got back home. I think I developed an infection along with this stye. I eventually had surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. I was under anesthesia and had a catheter placed in the two inner canthus tear ducts. The catheter stayed in place for a number of days. I returned and the dr removed the catheter. I thought my problem would be resolved, but it was resolved. I recently had cataract surgery of both eyes. The blocked tear duct symptoms of the left eye are really exaggerated now. I try warm packs and massaging the duct. this helps on a very temporary basis. What should I do? What kind of specialist should I see? Thank you so much. Should I expect that a dilation and flush might work. I want to avoid another surgery if possible.
Thank you so much!
Coconut water flush works wonders.
Had a flare up of my blepharitis and a few blocked glands and have been doing the warm compress and massage etc for four weeks now and it’s still not clearing up in any way any advice please
Eye see your point, Doctor!
I like what you did there!
Pls help🙏
There was a stye in my right eye and it takes almost 1 year to go off
So it leaves eye puffiness in my right eye
How can i cure this?
Pls reply
Doctor i have pain presure in the right eye and a feeling of having something in the eye what causes all this ? Plzzz reply
Cold weather makes my eye watery , in what category would that fall into
That is more related to dry eye, as low humidity and wind exposure cause eyes to dry out, also the corneal nerves are more sensitive to cold temps and cause more tearing.
I had that flushing procedure. It was very painful.
I went to a eye doctor he said my tear ducts were blocked, but if he undid it it would only last a week that was 3-4 years ago
Sir can you tell me what should I do if I have a white spot in my lacrimal caruncle?
my eyes are watery during the day and dry at night, i have to put drops several times. what can be done about this?
Wonderful video DR eye health yes my eyes the do get watery when is bright out and some times feels like I have sant in my eyes is that normal?
watery
Yes, when the eyes burn like they have sand in the eyes, the eye will produce more tears to compensate. Also when it is bright out, the eyelids squeeze together while squinting and then the tear film will more likely spill over.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you DR
I have a question my eyes turned white and started glowing and I could see everything in pitch black darkness but everything was lit up in a blue tint is this normal?
What’s the drug for this problem?
Would any of these cause pain in the side and behind of your eye?
I also had irritation and redness & watering of my eye, the left.
My eye doctor stated I was having a muscle spasm behind my eye and that my glasses would help, but they have not. I've noticed it does get worse when my neck muscles spasm up, so I'm thinking they could be related, as the neck pain started at the same time I began losing my eyesight about 8 years ago.
whatever i see moist, or eye or tear or something asoiciated with water (or too much light) i start to tear up, is it normal? if not how can i fix it
doc why does your eye get read easily when taking a bath? also is there no cure for not entirely closing your eyes when blinking?
That's an interesting question. I know my eyes get red sometimes when taking a shower. I think it may have to do with humidity? or possibly aerosolized fumes of soap or other detergents. I imagine with heat, some particles of soap will become like fumes and irritate the surface of the eye (the oil layer of the tear film will likely break up easily due to the presence of nonpolar lipids) - which increases tear film evaporation leading to dryness and rebound redness and inflammation.
Perhaps swimming goggles? Or bath goggles lol?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Do you take Hot or Cold showers doc?
Doctor my left eye punctum is blocked by a mamberine. This is easily removed by dilation but after a while the mamberine is formed again. The water comes out from the corner of the eye on to the cheeks. The rest of the tear duct passage is otherwise clear. According to my doctors I have allergies due to which the area around punctum gets inflamed and hence the blockage. All sorts of drops have been tried on me. Any suggestions?
I have been dealing with chronic watering in my Left eye as well as chronic sinus infections after a bout with covid 1.5 years ago. I have been to multiple ophthalmologists & ENT's. I had that eye irrigated 3 times, no blockage. Had a CT scan of my sinus. There is 100% an INVERSE relationship between sinus congestion and eye watering. If my sinuses are congested, I will have NO eye watering. If my sinuses are clear the watering will come back. I have asked both ENT's and ophthalmologists about this and they say that makes no sense. During sinus infections I am often taking herbal antibiotics or antifungals like garlic, oregano oil, and sometimes prescription antibiotics. So could it be the antibiotics/antifungals clearing my eye, and if so could I have a fungal infection (underlying candida/ mold) or other type of infection in my eye?? Trying to get to the root cause because no doctor can help me!! Thanks
my opthalmologist suggested I use a nasal spray when I mentioned my nose was often blocked at night (I also have a deviated septum), so there is a connection. She also suggested preservative free dry eye drops, and showed me how to clean my eyes properly, you can buy the special wipes, but a cheaper option is a tiny drop of baby shampoo on a wet cotton make up pad, being very gentle wiping both upper and lower lashes. I do have blockage though.
