Epiphora (watery eyes)
Eye watering has many causes. The tears are produced in the lacrimal glands and are drained by the tear ducts that begin in the inside corner of the eyelids and drain into the inside of the nose.
Eye watering can be due to problems with the tears, the lids or the tear ducts. This can be a difficult problem to solve and needs a careful assessment of the contributing factors with a realistic discussion about what can be achieved.
There are a number of different medical and surgical options available to address this issue and often a combination of strategies is needed to get the best outcome- a comfortable, dry eye.
