Watery eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, viral infections (conjunctivitis), inflammation, medication, dry eyes, inward or outward turning of the eyelids, blockage of the tear duct, infections like pink eye (conjunctivitis) or sinus infections (sinusitis), and other medical conditions such as Bells palsy, Sjogrens syndrome, chronic sinus infections, and thyroid problems.
In addition, irritants such as smog, chemicals in the air, wind, bright light, and foreign objects in the eye can also lead to watery eyes. Its important to determine the specific cause of watery eyes before seeking treatment, as the appropriate approach to managing the condition depends on the underlying cause. If you experience persistent or unexplained watery eyes, it is advisable to seek medical evaluation to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
