Question 1

what does it mean if my babys eyes seem cloudy and watery?

Accepted Answer

Blocked tear duct: If you are describing a intermittent mucousy film over the eye then it is probably a result of a blocked tear duct (lacrimal stenosis).  The tears can't drain from the eye and secretions build up and sometimes get infected.  If the cornea seems cloudy this may be a more serious problem requiring the attention of an ophthalmologist.

Question 2

Usually Blepharitis: Blepharitis or plugging up of oil producing glands of the eyelid which is stress related is extremely common these days. The stale oil is discharged at night and can form a crust on the eye lashes. Occasionally a lingering viral infection may keep a crust on the eyes. You should see an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

feeling weight on eyes. what does it means medically?

Accepted Answer

Not really weight: Your eyes may have a heavy/pressure feeling, but this rarely means that real pressure is building in your eye (glaucoma).  The main reasons for this are that your eye surface is dry/irritated, or that you're getting eyestrain from trying to do near vision work.  This latter condition is an age-related focus dysfunction (presbyopia) that can be fixed with glasses.  See your doctor just to be safe.
