Watery eye

Jayhawk Girl — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 02:42:12 GMT

My right eye waters like crazy. I actually have tears run down my cheek. Some days are worse than others but it’s just awful. I’ve had three procedures to fix the tear duct to no avail. I’m going back to the doctor to try again. Have any of you had anything like this? It is NOT dry eye and it’s only my right eye. I’m frustrated and hoping one of you know something I’m missing!! Thanks!

I had the same problem with my left eye. It seems to be an irritation that comes from a dry place on my eye. Even though the eye is tearing constantly, it is dry and irrittated. My problem started when I stopped wearing a contact lens in that eye. The contact lens helped keep my eye lubricated and protected from air. When I put a contact in my eye the tearing stops, but I don't need correction in that eye.

My dry eye does better since I started taking Omega 3 regularly. I take Andrew Lessman Omega 3. I also take Allegra for allergies which seems to help.

My other eye is not as dry because I wear a lubricating contact in it. Total One is very moist and lubricating.

Sounds like you should see another ophthomologist ASAP!

I have dry eye too (and allergies) so I feel your pain.

I just want to mention something strange that happened to me about 15 years ago.

I bought these lip balms, and for about a month I had a randomly watering eye. I didn't use the same flavor every day, and I had mixed in other lip products. I would be in class, and it looked like I was sobbing out of one eye. It turns out, it was an allergic reaction to the lip balm.

I ended up on steroids, threw the lip balm out, and then it went away.

You never know, it could be something like that.

I have the same thing. I don't know why. Thanks for bringing that subject up! I plan to ask my eye doc about that soon . And it happens in my right eye also.

I worked with a lady who had one eye that was watering constantly. Hers was a blocked tear duct, and the problem resolved after a procedure to correct the blockage.

I would suggest a second opinion from a different eye doctor.

@lolakimono I use eye drops for pollen. I’ve used honey lip balm and woke up with something tickling my lips. I brushed it off and it returned. Quickly I grabbed the thing and threw it. Turned the light on and there on the bed was a bee. It must have come in when I let the dogs out and held the door open!

I grabbed a tissue and the bee and flushed it while it was still buzzing. It must have been attracted to the scent thinking it was a hive.

I don’t use flavored or scented lip balm now!

My eye doc also described this condition to me as Dry Eye and told me to use drops like Systane, Thera Tears.

@lolakimono Funny you should mention this. I thought I traced it back to some moisturizer and I convinced myself I was nuts. But, I started using the Perricone tsv cold plasma and noticed my eye going super nuts! So, I stopped using it just this past weekend....we’ll see. I hope it could be something as simple as this.

Ive also stopped wearing my contacts.....hhhmmm.

Thanks for all of your posts!

Your symptoms point to allergies or infection.

I have a friend who had Bells Palsy and his eye waters (runs down his face) every time he eats. It seems to coordinate with the motion in his jaw when he eats. I know this is probably not the case with you but wanted to throw that scenario out there.

I hope you find relief soon. 😊

I have the exact same problem with my right eye too. My eye Dr. Gave me a script for Restatis and it really helped. In fact, I only use the drops for a few days and my eye clears right up. I've had this dry eye condition since I started menopause and I could no longer wear my contact lenses. Reva

My DH has been having problems with watery, red eyes for a week now..,.dr said it was allergies....he has never had any sign of allergies in his entire life....she prescribed eye drops that cost $83...for a teeny bottle to be used one drop a day for five days. He picked out an OTC allergy eye drop and it is getting better....through process of elimination we figured out he is allergic to the $48 for 6 oz. prescription shampoo he was given for scalp psoriasis. Now using our granddaughters Aveeno baby shampoo and no more psoriasis and his eyes are better....the eye drops were $3.99. Why do they try and rip us off at the pharmacy counter?
