When anything foreign, such as dust, dirt, or an eyelash, enters the eye, the body responds by producing additional tears to wash it out. Sub-microscopic particles, such as those found in smoke or the compounds found in onions, can still cause Huntingdon Valley teary eyes. Your eyes should cease watering once the issue has been resolved. However, other eye diseases and other conditions might also cause increased tear production.

• Insufficiency of Tears

It is possible that you are experiencing this issue because your body is unable to produce sufficient tears, your tears evaporate too quickly, or they lack the proper ratio of water, oils, and mucus. Conditions ranging from high winds to underlying health problems are all potential culprits. Tear production increases in response to any number of stimuli.

• Pink eye

Watery eyes in children and adults are often caused by pinkeye. Affected eyes may appear pink or red and feel gritty and irritating, as if sand were lodged in them. Bacterial and viral infections account for the vast majority of cases. Eye drops containing antibiotics may be necessary if the infection is bacterial but is unnecessary if the virus is to blame.

• Allergies

Common allergy symptoms include watery, itchy eyes, cough, and runny nose. On the other hand, eye allergies can occur independently. Avoiding allergens like pollen, mold, or pet dander, as well as taking antihistamines or using eye drops, might alleviate allergy symptoms. Watery eyes are a common side effect of the common cold, but itching is not one of them. This is one method for distinguishing between the common cold and allergies.

• Blocked Tears

Tears are produced by glands located just above the eyes, run down the front of the eyeball, and drain out of the eye through tiny ducts located in the outer corners. But if the ducts become blocked, tears accumulate and cause watery eyes. Infections, traumas, and even the natural process of aging are just some of the potential triggers.

•  Eyelid issues

Your eyelids function much like wiper blades. Blinking allows your eyelids to disperse your tears across your eye and remove any excess moisture. But there are situations when they do not function as intended. Entropion is a condition in which the eyelids and eyelashes turn inward and rub against the eye. When the lids turn outward, a condition known as ectropion, they fail to cover the entire eye when you blink. Both can make your eyes wet. Surgery, if necessary, can provide a long-lasting solution.

• Other Reasons

Bell’s palsy, Sjogren’s syndrome, persistent sinus infections, thyroid issues, and rheumatoid arthritis are just a few of the many medical diseases that can cause watery eyes. Radiation and chemotherapy are two medical therapies that can cause this. See a doctor if your eyes are always watering and you do not know why. The right treatment could restore your health and vision.
