Do you have watery eyes? These might be the reasons

At a time when 'screen time abuse' is extremely normal among children and adults, we are all familiar with the 'dry eyes syndrome.' However, have you ever heard of 'watery eyes?' This is a condition in which a patient tears excessively - either in one eye or both eyes - as their tear ducts are blocked due to any irritation or an underlying condition. Numerous causes like allergies, a bacterial infection of the eyes, style, tear duct infection, eyelid inflammation, common cold, corneal ulcer, foreign objects in the eyes, hay fever and even conjunctivitis are quoted as reasons for this condition, which is also called 'Epiphora.' It's also noted in those with Bell's Palsy or weakness on one side of the face, sinusitis, inflammation of blood vessels and those using eye drops and chemotherapy medicines. While the disease clears up on its own in many cases, a medical practitioner's help should be taken if your vision changes, your eyes constantly feel the presence of any foreign object, or you experience pain.

4) Through the 'tear drainage' clearance through steps like 'dacryocystirgubistomy,' 'punctoplasty or balloon catheter dilation.
