Geoid Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Since this forum is the hub of all knowledge, I was wondering if you could help. My right eye won't stop watering! Its been going on for a few weeks now and is getting annoying. There is no redness or gloop coming out, it just keeps watering. Anitihistime(sp?) doesn't work either.

jackiepoppies Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Do you regulrly sit in a draft on that side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Is it from the outside edge of your eye or from the tear duct corner? I ask this because I mentioned it to the optician on Friday as my left eye waters constantly from the outside edge, he said if it was from the outside edge it was due to my eyes being too tired and dry and overcompensating (I work in air-con 8 hours a day) but if it was from the tear duct end it was likely to be a blocked tear duct! That said he didn't say what I could do about a blocked tear duct but he did say a day time eye drop might stop my eye from getting to tired and dry it's really annoying - end up with blodged make-up on that side and a patch with no mascara left! Do you find it's the same Fred? BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Do you wear contact lenses?? Contacts can dry out tired eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 You could have a blocked tear duct. If it persists, I'd go to your GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Not been peeling onions then Fred I'd go with BeckBoo's comments, good info there I reckon, and it could be off to the GP with you if it doesn't sort itself out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Years ago one of my mum's work colleagues had a watery eye. He always put it down to hayfever, until he couldn't put up with it any more - then it was discovered that his wisdom tooth was pushing the other teeth along and his incisor was causing the eye to water. Out came the wisdom teeth and no more watery eye. Funny things, eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
